Did you look on the referral page? I know there are a few in the area, but they may all be too far away for you.
I take it the oen you are refering to is Dr Goodwin in LA. He probably does the most research on hyperemesis in the US, so I'm guessing he knows a lot. He is a perinatologist and and academic, so I think he would be very comfortable as a consultant to your primary OB with a minimum of actual visits (maybe a pre-conception and an ultrasound or two). That way your OB could have someone to call on if things weren't working.
My husband actually emailed him when I was pg and got an answer and I had never seen him before.
I do know someone in West Hills if you are interested. I've never been her patient, but I do know she is a good doctor, and she is in a small practice, so should be pretty accessible.
