National Jewish Health in Denver is amazing. They are some of the best for lung disease. I went there in June and had a full work up. They gave me more information and help then my pulmonologist has in 5 years! Worth the trip and investment.
Mayo is absolutely a great choice, if they have the capacity to see you. It may take a bit to get your appointment, so you may need to find someone local from the NTM list in the meantime. Not a bad idea anyway, since Mayo's preference for chronic illness is to see and diagnose you, get you a a treatment plan, the see you once or twice a year with visits, if necessary to a local specialist in between. This is how my brother's treatment of chronic severe allergic asthma works at Mayo in MN.
