Infectious disease doctor at NJH

I have been with Dr. Eddy for 3 years now and he has been wonderful, caring and compassionate. There are always patients who do not particularly like a doctor for various reasons, or, unfortunately, are influenced by another person's experience, but you can pretty much bet that any doctor at NJH is top notch or they would have never made it through the front door.

I am not on any medications due to side effects of the Big 3 and haven't been for 3 years, yet Dr. Eddy still sees me every 6 months for an evaluation. I have frequent hemoptysis and he has contacted me personally or through the portal to support me as I travel this road of MAC/BE and a rare lung fungal infection.

If you need support outside a lung condition, he will recommend adding another specialist to your team. Mine happens to be a NJH gastro doctor due to silent GERD, which contributes to my lung condition. I am stable and functioning and following the suggested protocols and hope to be around for a very long time, diseases or not! I wish you well!

@pmmar1 thank you for your response. I am always anxious to change doctors- you never know if it’s for better or worse. Your opinion counts. Thank you. It will be my third pulmo at NJH ( two left) and I am assigned for the coming visit to Dr Fuentes. I had Dr G as my ID but my last visit was really upsetting ( few times on the phone, left the room to answer the phone asking and giving me a brinsupri brochure to go through its side effects) I felt not taken care of as a patient especially one who makes these long trips to see a doctor. I hope I will be in good hands if Dr Eddy.
