Hi Triplet Mom,,
I switched clinics with my son when he was 6 years old. It was a difficult move because we liked the doctor. She was wonderful with Andrew and had a great bedside mannor. However, after talking to others we felt the clinic was not as proactive as the other CF clinic in our state. We had our first appt. with the new clinic and I remember crying in the office because I knew how much better Andrew's care would be. They followed a strict protocol, had great documentaton, and were a very agressive clinic with data to support their approach to patient care. It ended up being a very easy move.
Then a year ago we moved from Michigan to North Carolina and had to switch clinics again. We went to UNC and have loved that hospital from day one. I had researched UNC and felt comfortable with that move from day one. I knew we were going to a world class hospital with some of the best CF minds in the country. I think their reputaton along with the fact that we had already switeched centers once made it much easier the second time around. I think, though, that if my husband was transferred again and we had to leave UNC, I would be very concerned because I feel like we are recieving the best care right now.
I guess my advice is to research, and follow your instinct. You are doing your research now. That is why you posted what you did. But follow your instinct, too. If you are asking the questions, then you obviously know there is something better out there. If Cincinnati is not your answer, maybe a different hospital will be.
Good luck!</end quote></div>
I used to go to UNC before our move to PA. I saw Reich-Bogart. (hope i spelled his name right) Hes a great doctor, but I know all the others are great there too. I moved clinics when we moved- and have gone to 2 other clinics since we moved and have not seen the proactiveness or expertise of the UNC team. One of the options im faced with now is transferring back to him (im not yet 18) and I must say that even with the flight or drive- it is a very appealing option in terms of care quality.

Hello,
I do not live near you, but I had to switch clinics this past year. Mine was due to insurance reasons and we were really attached to our doctors and nurses at the other hospital. My son is only two though, so it was a good time to switch before he was old enough to understand. I LOVE our new hospital and they have been very accomidating. I would just research as much as you can aobut the new hospital. I got some good feedback from friends on here. Good luck!
