Yes, she is excellent and very knowledgeable. See her experience below: I don't know any of the other Dr's, who did you see there?

Dr. Daniels is the Director of the UNC Center for Bronchiectasis Care. She gained her MD from Rutgers New Jersey Medical School in NJ in 2006, including an MPH in Biostatistics & Epidemiology. She trained in internal medicine and pediatrics in Rochester, NY (2010), followed by a fellowship in diseases of the lung at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC (2013). Since her appointment to the faculty at UNC, she focuses on the diagnosis and management of patients with all causes of bronchiectasis, including cystic fibrosis and primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). Extending from her clinical experience with these patients, her research particularly focuses on discovering the genetic variations that contribute to the development of idiopathic bronchiectasis (bronchiectasis without a known cause). These people are frequently infected with non-tuberculous mycobacterium (NTM), and many have family members with bronchiectasis. She is part of the research endeavors of the national Genetic Disorders of Mucociliary Clearance Consortium, the PCD Foundation, and the Bronchiectasis Research Registry. She is a co-investigator for several clinical trials for PCD and idiopathic bronchiectasis. She gave the prestigious “Grand Rounds” lecture at the UNC School of Medicine on the State of the Art, diagnosis, and management of NTM. She enjoys working with patients of all ages to improve their quality of life with bronchiectasis through optimal management of their lung disease.

thank you for that Info. I saw Dr. Katherine Despotes. She works in Peds lot of the time. I asked to see Dr. Daniels but I was told that Dr. Despotes consults with and works closely with Dr. Daniels. I have been pleased with Dr. Dispotes. She is working to get my meds straight. It is trial and error for now....
