Introduction by Dr. Pheo

Hi,

I am a medical specialist in pheochromocytoma and other neuroendocrine tumors. These tumors are rare and a general doctor may not have enough experience in them. Diagnosis and treatment of these tumors are therefore often sub-optimal. I would like to share my experience with patients and colleagues through this blog and hope all of us will benefit.

I will initially keep my identity anonymous. Please keep in mind that I do NOT establish a physician-patient relationship between me and another person through communicating with this blog. I can NOT offer specific medical opinions on this blog. I am happy to provide general information regarding your question. You are solely responsible for the consequences of using the information I provide here. If you have a question, please keep your personal information confidential and use general precautions as you would in any communications over the internet.

I can not promise that I will check the blog frequently. For questions you consider urgent, please direct them to your own physicians.

Best regards,

Dr. Pheo

  1. It would be helpful if you could post your credentials and medical training in your profile without being so speficic as to give away your identity.
    What you've posted so far seems in line with current medical knowledge pertaining to pheos, but most can also be pulled from a google search on "pheochromocytoma".
    I'm not doubting your credentials, but I am sceptical when it comes to blogs and bloggers posting medical information on the net.
    Like a good doctor, I need some evidence that you actually are a trained physcian with a specialty in endocrinology.

  2. Hi Dr. Pheo,
    I was recently DX with VHL and I am in the early stages of trying to figure everything out. Baffling disease.
