I've been going to NJH since 2011. I originally spent two weeks in the adult daycare unit (8-5) while testing was done. I've returned every six months since then. The care I've received at NJH has been exemplary. I've never met anyone on staff that wasn't pleasant and eager to help. Having all of the testing done in one facility and then seeing the doctor afterward to discuss the results has been an exceptional experience.
I have remained off all drugs, not without some consequences, but I failed the drug regimen twice. While my doctor would rather I were on the drugs, he has worked with me in spite of my inability to tolerate then.
Having said this though, I recommended NJH to an acquaintance in my hometown. Her experience was vastly different and she was very displeased with the care she received. I've never known the specifics so I can't say what went wrong for her. I felt bad that I had encouraged her to go. Hopefully other folks will chime in with their experiences so you will have a well-rounded picture.
My best to you!

I found NJH when I was frustrated by the doctors here in Tucson and knew that my Bronchiectasis with Pseudomonas was getting worse. I went for 5 days saw Dr. Balkissoon and Dr. Griffith and had an array of tests. Went back 4 months later because they found a nodule that was suspicious for cancer. Dr. Balkissoon
set up my surgery with in a few days and I am now cancer free according to the tests and the surgent. This was last June and I am doing fine. Dr. Balkissoon saved my life! I have a terrible fear of flying and with Covid it was and has been a fear to the utmost. But....I felt I had to get there and get there fast. I will be flying there in March and as was written by others taking every precaution to stay safe.
