Hi! I live in the Chicago area and had trouble with my pulmonologist as well. I went to NJH several times and was very happy I did. I am now much more stable and get my care from the Bronchiectasis Clinic at the University of Chicago Medical Center downtown. I have been with them for over two years. Dr. Naureckas started many years ago treating CF patients and saw the need to expand to bronchiectasis patients. They respond quickly to emails and I have had no regrets. The hour drive from the suburbs is a pain but right now I only see him twice a year. It's much less expensive than my trips to Denver. Maybe you could go to NJH for a full battery of tests and once you are in a good place, consider University of Chicago.
