I saw Dr Dorgan in the Bronchiectasis Clinic at Perelman Ctr. and really liked him. When I first tried Penn Pulmonary, I didn’t have a formal diagnosis, just abnormal X-rays and unsuccessful sputums. Because of that and self referral, I was only eligible for their second opinion program and my appt was MANY months out. I lucked out with call to Mayo. With a diagnosis, I tried again, sent records and was accepted. I chose doc from program based on reviews on their website. I imagine the process will be easier with a Penn doc to help. If you do a google search for “Penn Pulmonary Medicine,” it brings up different locations. Select Heron Lung Ctr then scroll down to their many different programs. Select and you’ll be able to see docs and reviews. Some work in a few programs.

You might be interested in Dr. Dorgsn’s comment that radiologists love to write, “consider MAC lung” when there’s ground glass, nodules, etc. because it’s a concrete suggestion.

Feel free to pm thru FB with questions. I’d also love info on your primary. I’m near Main Line Clinics, but their hospitals for specialists and tests are in convenient.
