Does anyone go to NIH? I know they don't hospitalize, but does anyone like those doctors?

I live in the DC area and go to the Johns Hopkins CF clinic. It's about an hour drive from the city and the CF team is great! They have a full-service adult clinic that has regular appointments on Tues & Thurs afternoons. I also work full-time, and find the CF nurses are very responsive to questions/discussions outside of clinic appointments - so you don't have to make the drive for every flare up. For the past couple of years, I've done my IVs as an outpatient and gotten the picc placed at a local (NoVa) hospital rather going up to Hopkins and being an inpatient. And I get alot of labs done in the DC area rather than Baltimore (not PFTs though). Also, Hopkins is very active with CF research & trials and the clinic docs definitely listen to the patient in determining a care plan. I haven't tried any of the other area docs posters have mentioned, but I'd definitely recommend them.
Since you don't have a car, you may want to look into a Zipcar membership. There's plenty of locations - especially in the Dupont area - and it comes in handy for those couple of times you just need the car for a few hours.
Hope that helps.

I go to NIH. I'm in a study for adults with cystic fibrosis, and had my first (and only knock on wood) tune up there. My doc is Dr. Churnick and I love her. When I was diagnosed I was given the opportunity to go to JH, but wanted to stay with NIH. (I was dx at 21) I go to NIH for two genetic diseases; and they take really good care of me there. I do have a primary doc to see also, who stays on top of everything.
I have also heard great things about John Hopkins. Although I can not speak about it personally, I was told that it was really good. I also know that the naval hospital in Bethesda has a clinic too...
