How Many People Are Seeing A PAH Specialist And Not A Pulmonologist?
The doctor I am seeing at the University of WA is a pulmonologist but specializes in PAH.
Not at all. Sometimes I have to bring test results from one to the other so I don't get tests repeated unnecessarily. One side benefit to the specific regular pulmonologist I see is that he is with a different hospital system. And sometimes one hospital system offers tests or services the other doesn't. My regular pulmonologist arranged for my CPET as well as put in the initial order for my pulmonary therapy through his hospital as a favor to us.
I guess I could stop seeing the regular pulmonologist, but he knows a lot about the Bleomycin Toxicity in my lungs and my PH specialist wouldn't immediately be able to help me with that if I get a flare up. Plus I think having access to a different hospital system is a good thing...where I live anyway.
My PH specialist is also a pulmonologist. Iām very satisfied with him!
My pulmonologist is a PH specialist
I go to UTSW in Dallas at the Pulmonary clinic. I see a PAH specialist who is also a pulmonologist, a heart failure specialist and have a second Pulmonary specialist that treats my Interstitial Lung Disease and Pulmonary Fibrosis and I also have a Rheumatologist all within UTSW. They work together. Its a longer drive but lwell worth it. They saved my life when my regular pulmonologist refused to refer me to UTSW for 2 years because he didn't think I was at the level I needed specialty care
I Have A Question Do The People On Here Do You See A Regular Pulmonologist Or Do You See A Pulmonologist That Specializes In Pah
Why Have You Not Mentioned That A PH Specialist Is Far More Superior To Any General Hospital Pulmonologist Or Cardiologist?
Is There Any Members Of The Group Who Are Diagnosed W/ PAH, Who Have A Cardiologist?
