Followup tests Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia, Gall Bladder Disease, Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Eating Disorders Help by Dr. W.P. Smedley M.D. F.A.C.S.

Dr. W.P. Smedley is a Board Certified General Surgeon, well-trained in the care of critically ill patients.

His interest in Anorexics and Bulimics was sparked by a member of his family developing the signs and symptoms of the condition. He knew she was raised with special care and love and must have some underlying medical reason for her symptoms. When this proved true the treatment of her condition resulted in complete recovery.

Dr. Smedley currently has sixty-eight cases of anorexia - bulimia that have all recovered through his medical investigations.
