My bronchiectasis specialist is leaving!

My pcp is very close to me. However, we do most of our communicating via text or phone. He has a concierge practice and, for me, it is worth every penny I pay. I send him pictures of whatever it may be that is bothering me or I just describe it. He determines if he needs to see me or if he can take care of me without my having to make a face to face appointment. Maybe the doctor who is moving would welcome a digital relationship with you. Best wishes!

She told me that she is looking into how she can continue to care for me from there. I will have a pulmonologist here to listen to my lungs on a regular basis, order tests when necessary and collect sputum samples. They will work together to treat me. I'm curious with respect to how often people with a long distance relationship with a dr at Mayo or NJ have to travel to see the doc. I have another health problem which makes flying tricky. Not impossible but difficult.
