Pulmonologist Reference

Hi Everyone...to those in the Atlanta area...who was your pulmonologist?  I got my list of tests to complete today....pushing for December to have this done...

Thanks~
Ms. E

My surgeon recommended I see someone at Pulmonary and Critical Care of Atlanta.  You can google them to get the website.  I saw Dr. Boyce.  It was quick and painless.  They are in the area over by Northside Hospital. 

My pulmonologist is Harold Jackson, M.D., fron Southeastern Lung.  The have offices in Conyers, at DeKalb Medical and at John's Creek.  He has been my dr. since having been diagnosed with sleep apnea about 2-1/2 years ago and was very supportive re my decision to get the surgery.

Best wishes.

My Doctors office suggested I use the one stop testing, where they do pulmonoary, sleep study, and psych all at the same place.

Their number is 404-607-8570

As another poster replied, I saw Dr. Boyce also.  Good guy.

Thanks everyone for your response...

If you are pushing for Dec., look for  a pulmonologist who does not have DIRECT TIES TO A SLEEP CLINIC! My first visit to the pulmonologist (which was my last step before my presurgical stuff) was in July...my date is in Dec.  I went into Southeastern Lung Care, and lucked up on the one doctor (out of eight) who runs the sleep clinic. (My two surgery buddies also went to Southeastern, but got different doctors and got immediate clearance). One had an ASTHMA ATTACK during the testing...cleared that day, the other had a previous diagnosis of sleep apnea, but never went to the follow up or got CPAP machine, cleared the same day. I on the other hand had to go through 2 sleep studies, 2 visits with the sleep technician, a CPAP machine, and 3 office visits. This took an additional three months...All to get a clearance with no reference at all to my CPAP machine, or newly discovered apnea.  So 6,000 bucks worth of claims to my insurance, and 7 visits to the pulmonologist and her sleep clinic...to be told I have sleep apnea, and that once I had the surgery there was a good chance that it would be cleared up!!! So look at the practice, see who would directly benefit from you doing a barrage of tests and sleep studies, and avoid them if you are interested in getting surgery in Dec. None of the physicians posted on this post appear to fall into this category. Good luck!
