Philadelphia.

Endocrinologist and Pituitary Specialist

Serge Jabbour, M.D.
Jefferson Univ. Hospital
Philadelphia
Phone: 215-955-1925

My doctor is...an endocrinologist and pituitary specialist and a wonderful, reliable, caring doctor. He collaborates well with other doctors, communicates well with patients, and is knowledgeable about Cushing's. Having worked with other doctors at major teaching institutions in Philadelphia, including some noted to be the best, I would say that Dr. Jabbour is leaps and bounds ahead. Jefferson's a very decent hospital as well.
