Has anyone seen Dr Conrad (pulmonologist) for NTM?
I can have an appointment with Dr Conrad (pulmonologist) at Cleveland clinic . I also have an appointment with Dr Adrizzo-Harris at NYU. This is for treatment of NTM. I have heard Dr Adrizzo-Harris is the best but I can't see her until July 29. I can see Dr Conrad July 8 . I don't know anything about him. Has anyone seen him for NTM who didn't tolerate the Big 3?

@sasha6870 I am not familiar with either doctor you named but wanted to share my experience. After I was diagnosed, I received a recommendation for a pulmonologist but his earliest appointment was almost 3 months out. They offered an earlier appointment with another pulmonologist in the same office. I took the earlier appt and regretted it. I stayed with him for awhile but wound up switching to the original doctor. I don't know your particular situation but I have learned that the treatment for MAC is lengthy and complicated. For the sake of 3 weeks, again depending on your situation, I would stick with the doctor who specializes in MAC and comes highly recommended.

I don't know anything about Dr Conrad so I can't compare but I have been treated by Dr Addrizzo for 2+ years. She is excellent and so is the whole team. Once you are in their care they are very proactive and responsive (I use the mychart messaging). I see Dr Addrizzo every 3 months or so, and the nurse practitioners handle most issues in between.
