Seeing Mayo pulmonologist once a year in Rochester, MN and following up with tests being sent to him. Looking for either pulmonologist or Infectious disease doc in Tampa area as I live there . Would appreciate any help?
Diagnosed with MAI in April. I am asymptomatic right now, nebulizing Albuterol and 7% saline 1x per day.
Thank you... Bon

I live in Clearwater. I go to Bay area chest group. I see Dr Shea Eckardt. He is good. They are connected with Morton Plant hospital. They are part of Bay Care. I do not do antibiotics due to other health issues and not able to tolerate. I neb with 7% saline and the vest twice a day. Tampa General might have good people but, I'm not familiar.

Dr Chakrapol Sriaroon (he goes by Dr Chak) at USF/Tampa General is an Infectious Disease doctor and Pulmonologist and is excellent. The only problem is scheduling an appointment with him.

Thank you so much for this. I spoke with scheduling yesterday and will fax all my reports to his office. They will go over my information and let me know when and if I can get an appt. They are scheduling out to January right now.
