Go now! I became ill mid 2021 and went to a couple of ID docs in my area. I too was anti-symptomatic for MAC but had classic bronchiectasis symptoms. I was reluctant to start the antibiotic regimen 3 X per week for MAC. I did a massive amount of research, and then I self referred to NJH thinking they would confirm my decision to delay treatment. I went in November 2022. I was due to be there for 10 days. The tests and results were thorough, professional and explained to both my husband and me with great care by the top docs at NJH and the diagnosis was confirmed within 3 days, so I was able to leave early. I had a definite MAC & bronchiectasis case. I started the 3 antibiotics in early December 2022 . My recent sputum culture taken in early February came back as negative, zero MAC cultures. I feel 85% better. The NJH experience was life-changing. By the way, I am a 75 year old female with my own business and an active family and friends life.
