I was diagnosed in the Milwaukee area but took more than four years and having right lung resection surgery. I then went to National Jewish Health for 10 days because I did not trust any of doctors I had been working with in Milwaukee. NJH did many tests, further diagnosed me as bronchiectasis, mycobacteria avium complex, GERD. Sent me home with treatment plan of airway clearance and task of finding suitable pulmonary physician. The resiratory therapist who delivered all my equipment for aurway clearance told me the absolute best pulmonary doctor in the area is Dr. Steven Leh at St. Lukes south of Milwaukee. I had to leave the area in 2020, but am now planning to move back mostly to get my care in control. He is amazing. Explains everything, goes over your CT scans and test results in detail explaining all. His manner is like you are talking to a good friend. Tells you to call him Steve. I call him the savant of bronchiectasis and mycobacteria. My care has suffered greatly without him. If you don’t mind the 1 1/2-2 hr drive to St. Lukes his office number is 414-649-6572. Location, 2900 W. Oklahoma Ave., Pulmonary 2nd floor, Milwaukee

I would add one comment. If I had been referred to Dr. Leh when all the illnes started I am certain I never would have taken four years to get diagnosis and probably would not have had to have lung surgery, nor would it have been necessary to go to Denver to National Jewish Health. Not dissing NJH, they are wonderful but expensive to go there for 10 days. Wish I had known about Dr. Leh. Certain he could have diagnosed me easily.
