Need to find a DR who actually treats PH in Springfield IL

I have been seeing a regular cardiologist since 2013 for PH & CHF. Current doc refuses to treat for PH. I seeked out a 2nd opinion this week and this NEW grad DR informed me that there was absolutely NOTHING wrong with me, even though I provided labs, test results to include Heart Caths, and Stress test.
