I went to Mount Sinai in NYC. It was one of the only 2 that my insurance would cover for any type of transplant. When I looked into it, the team had the best accolades. I didn't even check the other hospital to see if they actually did lung transplants or not. The pulmonologist that I had at the time saw the write-ups of the team and told me definitely to go with them. Then when I interviewed the surgeon (yes, I interviewed him), I felt comfortable with his abilities.

Again so happy for you, I don’t believe you’re home are you? Unless you live close by the hospital. I know at Mayo I’ll have to be within 20 mins. For the first 3-4 months after transplant.
