@sueinoregon ....to share thoughts on where to go for second opinion.....I opted to go to National Jewish Health in Denver. It alternates with Mayo as #1 respiratory facility in USA. It is thorough. Check it out under national jewish.org. As important as everything else, They take Traditional Medicare/supplement. I did not see a bill when I underwent 2 weeks of testing etc.Mayo accepts traditional Medicare but tacks on a 15% addition to what Medicare determines is the charge. Your Medicare/supplement/ medigap policy may have the rider for the 15%. NJH prior to arrival will evaluate financial costs....if any.tdrell

Tdrell: You have been such a help to me so far. I'm going to push it a little farther. I have been going to Tyler, Tx to Dr. David Griffith for eight years. I adore him and feel that my attitude of not having my life spoiled is solely due to him. However, the trip there has become such a hardship. No good way to fly- hours layover- and so terrible costly. We can fly straight to Denver from our hometown and I am seriously thinking of changing now that we're getting older and especially if Dr. Mitchell operates on me. Who is your doctor and are they taking new patients? Giving up Dr. Griffith will be huge for me!
