@poodledoc Dr. Richard LaRue at Vanderbilt is excellent. When we lived in Clarksville/Cunningham TN in 2016/2017 he was my ID doctor. Dr. Mark Peters at St.Thomas West is also very good, but not a MAC specialist. (Irene5)

@poodledoc...I agree with @irene5 with regard to Dr. Richard LaRue at Vanderbilt (ID doc). He is wonderful....very knowledgeable and kind/compassionate!! There is a great pulmonary doc at Vanderbilt, Dr. James Tolle. These two docs work together on my behalf and are great with communication through the patient portal and with phone calls as well. Good luck finding the right team for you!!

@poodledoc This is what makes Connect work - thanks Irene (@irene5). Poodledoc - Vanderbilt is where some of our participants find their physicians. Not sure they "specialize" in MAC, but there are some docs there well-versed in treating it. There are a number of people here who seen the docs at Mayo in Jacksonville. Reach out to Terri (@windwalker) - if she is not one of them, I bet she knows who is. Good luck - having a doc who is knowledgable and you trust is vital in dealing with difficult conditions.
