Falling in line but still spinning

I'm moving from denial to fear. When choosing a liver doc I see most around here are categorized as gastroenterologist listing hepatology as a skill. Is this who I'm looking for or do I look further to find a doc who calls him/herself a hepatologist? While I'm at it, how do you go about vetting doctors to pick one?

I recommend a hepatologist, a real liver expert. I have to travel 300 miles to find one but it is worth it. They are in short supply so you often take what you can get

Not what you're looking for?
