Yes, UCSF is not ideal if you need to be seen for something that comes up right away. Ive gone to the ER 2x because of this. I do not have a local pulmonologist here in Pleasanton, and even from here its a half day to go to city for an appointment. Dr Zha and PA (Anny) are great, but busy people. I'm not sure if you can start with seeing Anny without first getting in with Dr Zha. My appointments are always 6 months out and sometimes that is even for Zoom appointments. Since I also have MAC I am working with this scenario.

@leisa Appreciate your input. I think having a local pulmonologist who could become aware of your status could be helpful in case of an emergency so that if you needed hospitalization (for example), the local doctor could step in. Perhaps UCSF recommended that and if so, did UCSF make a suggestion of which doctor(s) in your area they would recommend.
