My husband is also a patient of Dr. Woltering in Kenner Louisiana. His philosophy is very much in line with Dr. Warner. They are two of the top Carcinoid specialists in the states - however I dont know Dr. Warner, but I know he is very active with the research and treatment. I would recommend either of these, but Dr. Woltering was the closest for us. My husband was told by local doctors that he was inoperable and there was not really anything they could do for him. Please seek a second opinion - the wait and see method is not a good choice. If your doctor is not being aggressive then you must - it is your life we are talking about. If you need any other info please ask. Go the the Carcinoid.org website- you will find alot of information. God Bless
