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!

@conniewright ....I understand your ambivalence re giving up Dr Griffin yet wanting to have surgery with Dr Mitchell in Denver......wonder if you have to give up Dr Griffen but could have surgery in Denver?? Just reread previous post where you said Dr Griffin will send you to Dr Mitchell. The Mycobacterium Dept is short a Dr....so not sure how long you’d have to wait for that part of evaluation. Dr Huitt is my ID doctor....but the other two appear very competent. Dr Daley....Dr kasperbauer.....go to national jewish.org or you tube and hunt around for NTM workshops at National Jewish health to hear each speak. Tdrell
