Pulmonologist vs. CF clinic

Thanks everyone!! See, the funny thing is, our "adult CF doctor" is actually just a pulmonologist who has his own practice, but comes to clinic to see us adults every other week (I suspect they couldn't find anyone else to do it). So in a sense it really makes no difference whether I see him or this new woman Dr. She helped bring me out of a near-death post-op pneumonia this past summer and I was so overly impressed with how thorough and attentive she was Basically, the care I've been getting as an adult CF'er has been crap up until this point.

I think I will still stop in the CF clinic (Providence, RI) every six months or so, but mainly follow up with my new doctor.
