You might consider University of Maryland Medical Center. Dr H Richard Alexander is there and was at National Institutes of Health for a long time before that. He has performed many Whipple procedures and is well versed in pancreatic disease. They have great and experienced medical and radiological doctors there as well should chemo or radiation be necessary. Dr Alexander is not only a skilled surgeon.. he also has an indescribably great bedside manner which is equally as important to one's recovery. Do yourself a favor and check this out.
I can give a full vote of confidence to the care provided by Dr Alexander and the Univ of Md Med Center.
