@joan912 Hi, Joan, there are a few good docs at AZ. However, do not let them con you into a total body workup. I went there to sort out my Amyloidosis, which I already knew I had in some form. They told me I had to go through the whole car wash instead of just cleaning the headlights. I wasted at least 15,000 , then, in the last few days I was there I finally saw a doctor they said was an expert but he had no clue. Then they claimed I owed them more money and were going to turn me to collections, but then they found out it was their own terrible bookkeeping system. If you can by any means, go the Rochester.

@joan912, I think it is a good idea to keep that appt. Many people are getting turned away because of patient overload at the Mayo Clinics.
I did reschedule the appointment for Feb with Dr. Aksamit. Hopefully that will go well. Also, I've set up an appointment with another doctor in Kaiser, who appears to have more experience with bronchiectasis.

Wow, that's terrible!! My husband just had a CT Scan, sputum samples are still waiting for results, and he had many blood tests. I hope this will reduce the costs of anything they suggest having done. I know he absolutely refuses to do a bronchioscopy. I don't know what other tests they'd do other than spirometer (breath capacity). I have not cancelled the appointment in Rochester for Nov. 29, so I guess we'll still go there.
