I live in the Wake Forest/Raleigh area and go to Dr Mary Leigh Ann Daniels at UNC in Durham. She specializes in Bronchiectasis and NTM. I would highly recommend Dr Daniels. She has a great Video on Airway Clearance (see link) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKA5IR7ePQo. I also went to National Jewish and saw Dr Huitt. I prefer the lab at National Jewish as they can tell you exactly what bacteria and how many colonies. Previously I had gone to Duke Pulmonary but did not find a DR there that would be qualified to treat Bronchiectasis or Mac.

I live in Wilmington,NC and I have an appointment at UNC-CH Wed. 12/8. This is my 2nd visit. I am seeing Dr. Despotes. I don't think she has the knowledge or experience with bronchiectasis as Dr. Daniels from what I am reading. I will ask Wed. if she is conferring with Dr. Daniels. She has to work in Peds. about half the time and looking at the web site, she is not listed in the lineup of staff in the Pulmonary Specialty Clinic. She has been very responsive to my messages on MyChart and has. been very careful about the meds that she prescribes for me and tells me the reason she is doing it. I like that she communicates. Refreshing change!!
