I don't have any experience with Dr. Kuter, but he is on the PDSA Board of Medical Advisors.
pdsa.org/about-us/our-medical-advisors.html
He is also an author of the International consensus report on the investigation and management of primary immune thrombocytopenia, so I would expect him to more or less follow their protocol.

Rob said it. We couldn't possibly tell you what he might do. He will base that on your treatment history and mutual preferences.
