Pulmonologist Question

Hey group! 

I'm pretty new and have been just lurking around taking in all the information that's available. Now I have a question of my own.

I'm at the stage in planning where I need to schedule an evaluation with a psychologist and pulmonologist. I've scheduled the psychology evaluation, now I'm just needing to schedule the pulmonology evaluation. I see there are a few in my network, but I'm wondering if any of you have and recommendations?

Your feedback will be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks!

your surgeon should give u a referral.... best to get one associated with the hospital your'e getting surgery done at..
Just did this yesterday...not fun

CC What was so unpleasant about it?   Could you please forewarn us other pre-ops?

It was about 20 mins of sucking on this machine doing all these tests with your mouth wrapped around a mouthpiece and your nose pinched.....


But check with your doc if you require pulmonary clearance...every doc is different.

I discovered that the pulmonologist was important when I was in the hospital.  Although minor, I did have some issues after surgery.  Make sure theey are on staff where you will have surgery.  I agree, ask your surgeon for a recommendation.
