Close Anonymous Unfriend Friend Requested Friend Load More Close Destination Page Area Group Destination Content Title Title Article Type Copy comments Despite having severe emphysema and making more than a few visits to his office at UCSD I have never seen “my” pulmonologist. Instead I have seen his very competent and knowledgeable nurse practitioner. The only difficulty is that sometimes a dr’s opinion is required so I have to wait for the answer to come back from the dr. I’m sure this is described as an office visit with him. Somebody or more than 1 is being screwed here. Is my experience typical?
