I never met a pulmonologist I did’t like. I do wonder why they are not more informative about the disease. It is usually not a curable thing . I think that might be why they are so complacent. I pay 45$ to see him . He gets about 250$ from my Ins. Co per visit. He limits appts to 15 minutes .
The nurse does the vitals, I wait a few mins to see him , ( only because I insist on seeing the Doctor) He prefers that you just see his NP . I live in a medical service desert . Then he peeks in and tells a joke or two . Answers a question if you ask . Then looks at his watch and says “ Well, I have to get moving here . He makes 1,000 an hour . You should probably look for a different pulmonologist . Your Doctor can probably help you choose one .

Thanks...... I will probably wait until my symptoms get significantly worse and then see a different pulmonologist, especially when my O2 stays below 90 all of the time instead of a great deal of the time and my SOB is more constant. My nebulizer, and meds help a lot. Thanks for your reply.
