Mass general adult clinic
- Thread starter Mg930
- Start date
Hi Bill, I currently go to Childrens. The doctor I see does not have a lot of experience with cf. She is part time cf and part time general pulmonology. I saw the chief when I moved back from Chicago in 2007 but he got angry (and hurt...his words) when I wanted to switch to Dr. Uluer. He told me I was not allowed to see anyone there but the doctor I currently see.

Dr. Sicilian has cut back but he no longer has to take a turn doing consults and covering things like the Fellows clinic or the MICU so he actually has more time slots available. The NP retired a while ago at the same time as there were some hospital cut-backs - they are recruiting for a replacment now as I understand. Dr. Isabel Neuringer is also an attending physician who is excellent - she covers some in the lung transplant program and then in adult CF, she is amazing. They aslo have a yonger Dr. Chris Richards, he is pretty cool - don't know if he is on the same par with the others yet though. They are also getting another doctor from Johns Hopkins after 7/1.
If you are admitted, you will always see your doctor every day (except weekends when you are covered by another MD pulmonologist - never an NP or PA) The group is small enough that the team knows you well.

No problem. They have a FB group - it is a closed group so that the "conversations" are private, the FB page is Adult Cystic Fibrosis Program at Massachusetts General Hospital. You can ask to join the group and speak to other/current patients there.
I go to MGH and have been pleased with my care. Both Dr. Sicilian and Neuringer are wonderful. For the last 1.5 years the clinic has struggled administratively because the NP position was eliminated. Things are slowly getting better with the addition of Dr, Richards and Dr. Sicilian's new schedule. and it's excellent news to hear what Lynnfield Mom said that there is a new doctor coming in July. I had not heard this. Lynnfield mom where did you find this out?
im happy to answer any more specific questions you might have.

Yes I think so, slowly! I've spoken with a couple other patients at the clinic that i'm friends with and one of them is on the patient advisory committee and no one else had heard this info about a new NP and a new doctor. In fact, the new NP info is in direct contradiction to information that was given by the director of the pulmonary department just a few months ago. Hopefully something has changed and these two positions will be filled! that would be great!
