WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A GASTROENTEROLOGIST AND A HEPATOLOGIST?
A hepatologist specializes in treating liver disease. A gastroenterologist does guts, essentially. I recommend finding a hepatologist, as they are more likely to be on top of the latest information concerning treatment of hepatitis C. Unfortunately hepatologists, especially in Canada, are few and far between.
