I saw Dr. Kevin Winthrop there on May 10, and liked him very much as well as the whole set up at OHSU. Everyone involved was compassionate and efficient. It's a 5-6 hour drive for me so they managed to get at CT scan and blood work done within hours, and I dropped off a sputum sample before leaving the next morning. I asked for a referral after seeing Dr. Winthrop on a video discussing when it's appropriate to watch and wait and I questioned my pulmonologist's recommendation that I start the big 3 immediately. Turns out Dr. Winthrop concurs with my pulmonologist, but he was able to show me the hows and whys. Waiting on the sputum cultures now, but I'll likely participate in one the trials he is doing.
