Hello @debbie68 , Could you tell me the name of the pulmonologist in charge of your care and are you happy with him/her? I have bronchiectasis and have had NTM infection in the past and have been going to Mayo clinic in Jacksonville. I am happy with the care there but living in Spring Hill, FL it is quite a drive. Looking at changing to USF/TGH. Are your appointments at the pulmonology clinic at USF or do you go to Tampa General? Thanks, Bill aka poodledoc

Hi Bill!! We see Joseph Ashmore who is the APRN with the USF Pulmonary group. I think they fall under Internal Medicine when you try to find them. 813-974-2201. There are lots of prompts to get you to who to the right place. That said, I did tell someone else about Joseph and for whatever reason they could not get in to see him. May have been insurance related. I recently retired from Tampa General so we have always gone to USF/TGH for our care. I have always been impressed with Joseph as he has a great bedside manner and explains things very well. He or is MA also respond quickly when I message them through MyChart. Others, not so much. My parents lived in Springhill/Brooksville for years. Lovely area.
The groups all have offices at the USF Building at TGH on Davis Islands, The Morsani Building which is on the USF campus and also the Brandon TGH HealthPlex. I think the Morsani place is the easiest to maneuver and a bit closer for you. Of course, go wherever you can get in the quickest. I can't speak as to the other people in the group but really hope you can get in to see Joseph if you decide to change. Best of luck!!
