Looking for a new CLL doctor

I live in the Chicago area. 12 years ago I was diagnosed 12 trisomy and was on W and W until 2020. I've been on ibrutinib for 3 yrs now My doctor from Loyola just retired and I was hoping if any of you in the Chicago area have a CLL physician who you might recommend. I'm feeling a little unsettled because I loved my original doctor and didn't care for the new doctor I was given. Also, I really value this community and the information I have received . Thank you ahead of time for your help.

Dr. Shou Ma at Northwestern is a CLL specialist. I wouldn't want anyone else.

I’ve been with Dr Ma for years. Excellent doc and team. She often has clinical trials if interested.

I saw a CLL specialist at Loyola many many years ago and his name was Richard Stiff. I loved him dearly!!!

Have you checked the list from CLLSociety.org, or gone to one of their local meetings? Those people will know who else is treating CLL locally, and their practice model.
