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?
