Hi Everyone,
I just wanted you to know there is a clinic at UNC (University of NC) called the UNC Center for Bronchiectasis Care. For those of you that have Bronch. and an NTM and are looking for Drs. knowledgeable in this field this might be a resource. I know how few and far between these clinics are across the US. They don't just treat Bronch., they treat any NTM you may have. I've been there twice. I wanted to wait until I'd gone a couple times before I said anything. Both experiences were very good. I found my doctor to be very knowledgeable, she took the time to explain her game plan, why she was doing it that way and asked me if I was comfortable with doing it that way. She spent quite a bit of time with me each visit going over test results, answering questions. I also found the staff to be just as helpful and willing to spend time going over everything. The respiratory therapist gave me her card and told me a couple ways to get a hold of her if I had further questions after I left. Nice! Overall very, very nice. Much better than my experience at Duke. They are located in Chapel Hill, NC. Let me know if you have any questions. Janet
