I have not totally switched. I'm on Medicare with a Supplement. As you know Dr. McShane, BE specialist, left Tyler. I was seeing Dr. McShane who had/has many years of experience with BE patients. I want to continue with Tyler mainly for the lab, how they report, due to the good communication I receive from the office and to have another opinion, thoughts, insight etc. Sometimes we get information from one but not the other (be it due to ones philosophy or one didn't think to mention something) that is helpful and enlightening for the patient. Tyler will be a once a year visit for me, as of my plan now.
I am going to see Dr. Jung also due to my belief that he is strongly interested in his Bronchiectasis patients and BE in general. I believe from what I have gathered he is the one doing much of what has to be done to get this Baylor location to become a Center of Excellence. It appeared from the information I read both the Tyler doctor, I have seen once, and Dr. Jung, I have seen once, are about equal in time in the field, pulmonology.
Not all labs can do what Tyler or NJH can do with our sputum submissions for testing in terms of detail.
