Best medical center for MAC & BE
I live in Knoxville and have been treated for MAC since 2019. Three years on the big 3 and 2 years with added Arikayce. I’d like to go to a major medical center with an NTM and BE clinic that has a solid multidisciplinary team. I’m deciding about Mayo or Cleveland Clinic. Anyone had experiences about either for a full work up? Any physician names would be very helpful. And what about Mayo Jacksonville? Or Rochester. Florida is closer for me if that’s a best choice. Thanks for any guidance and experiences.

1 ReactionFYI: National Jewish is now associated with Mount Sinai Hospital in NYC.
"National Jewish is a non-profit medical and research center with a 115-year history of specializing in respiratory disorders and has been ranked for its excellence in respiratory care by U.S. News & World Report for the past 12 years and is now partnered with Mount Sinai Icahn School of Medicine for a jointly run ..." ALSO, UT Texas at Tyler, Texas. NYC and Tyler are closer to Knoxville, expecially if thinking of driving.

1 ReactionMayo in Rochester is also considered excellent. I was impressed.
I couldn’t be happier with National Jewish at Mt Sinai in NYC. Dr. Becker is my pulmonologist and he is just wonderful. Good luck!

2 ReactionsI’m at Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota and it is excellent.
Do they treat from a distance?

1 ReactionWhen I called, they said there was no Telehealth visits, thus you needed to see them in person.
Has anyone had any experience with the Bronchiectasis & NTM unit of NYU Langone in NYC?
