No, but if you are a CF patient you could ask your current doc for a referral--he/she might know someone.
Also, the foundation's website www.cff.org has a listing of all the CF centers in the U.S. and you could call the ones in Michigan or look at their web sites to research their female docs.

My son used to go to Detroit Childrens Hospital, used to because now they come up to Flint every other month (thank God!). At Detroit Children's they have 2 specialist Dr. Abdulhamid (our doctor) and his partner Dr. Tousher (sp?) who is a very nice female. Both these doctors are excellent doctors, very imformed on CF. Hope this helps!

Hey there! Right now I see Dr. Debbie Toder (and Dr. A) at Children's Hospital of MI...unfortunately she is kickin me out cause I'm so old so you won't get in there. At Harper Medical in the Detroit Medical Center Dr. Donna Kissner is the Adult CF doctor. I hear she is great. I was thinking about going to U of Michigans CF center...2 great CF docs but both males..there are about 5 there though and 1 or 2 are women. 1 is more of a transplant doc but I hear she is great too.
Feel free to ask anything else.
Dr. Simons and Dr. Sissin at U of M are great..so if you wouldn't mind a guy, I'd choose one of them!

Thanks for your replies! I have been questioned for CF through out my life but never tested because I don't fit the classic class. I did however have a genetic test done a very long time ago to see if I was a carrier, I am a carrier for the 508, they only checked for the 508. CF is in our family. I was just tested for celica and it didn't come back positive so now they are saying maybe you should see a CF doctor. Hopefully I can just complete the genetic test without seeing a CF doctor. Why a female doctor, I don't have warm fuzzy feelings towards male doctors because they have always given me a lot of grief about my weight. I live in central Michigan so I can go in any direction if I have to end up seeing a doctor. Thanks so much for your time, you're great!!!
