Thanks Rick! I did not know that they have to repeat all tests. That is a waste of money for insurance company! My pulmonologist recommends Dr. Darly and Dr. Shannon. I choose Dr Shannon as she is a female doctor with good reputation.

You will probably see the Doctor first before all testing is begun.
I take it your previous test results have been sent to NJH? If so....maybe on that first Doctor visit and discusssion of what they are going to schedule for you at NJH....if you feel comfortable doing so..... you might ask what ones have to be repeated...etc. etc. and why if you want to know. I had not had the tests they did for me at NJH before going to NJH other than the local CScan with my PCP that showed BE.
It is again a great deal of information to take in while you are there. I would be interested in knowing if you see your lead doctor at the end of each day of testing for a review of the tests. I only got to see my lead doctor the first day and last day for discussions. It would help to see the doctor each day, if at all possible.
