Kendra,
Please let me know if you are seeing Dr. Karakla at EVMS. He is my doc and one of the very finest. No need to travel to Richmond area, good treatment is in your backyard. Email me if you want more details and I'd be happy to meet with your dad. We have a support group that meets on Mondays for when he's ready.
