    The Gastro Doctor across from Rex Hospital is excellent. I forget the name. That is where I go and they are excellent. I thought it was Wake Endoscopy.

    I second Dr. Jordan in Smithfield. He helped me as much as insurance would allow last year.

    Dr. Battaglino is awesome! I just went for a colonoscopy a couple of months ago.

    Good luck. I hope you find a dr. that will give you some relief. I can't imagine being nauseous for 2 months. Are you sure you're not pregnant?

    trust me...it's possible! I was positive I wasn't pregnant and spent 3 or 4 months dealing with daily nausea...some days were much worse than others. But in the end, it was diagnosed at Gastritis and cured with Prevacid.

    Dr. Morris Pollock is probably the best gastro specialist in Raleigh and their office operates their own endoscopy center (Raleigh Endoscopy) right across the hall. Pollock discovered two life threatening conditions in a relative of mine several years apart when his primary care physician missed both conditions. I believe he saved his life twice. His offices are located on Atrium Drive near Rex. Another doctor in with Dr. Pollock that is very good...Dr. McKay.

    McKay did tests on my wife a few years ago and even though all her tests came back negative for pain she was having (minor endometrosis), he thought enough of her to call her from his home to our home to ask how she was doing. He scored very high marks with me on that day when you have a specialist take the time to call on his own time to check on a patient.

    I was really nervous going in. He made me feel a lot better. All I remember was them telling me to take 5 deep breaths and next thing i knew my husband was in the recovery room talking to me. I never felt a thing. When we left there we went straight to IHOP. I was hungry!!!!!:lol:

    I saw Dr. Jordan @ Johnston Area Gastoenterology a couple years ago. Was very pleased with the whole practice. The procedure was no biggie either, despite the public perception. Although I did need double the usual dose of anesthesia. I remember very little til I got home, LOL. Yeah, I'm not a cheap drunk. LOL
