Thank you for your recommendation. I felt if Dr. Betancourt referred you to Dr. Carrillo that would be who I would call. I called his office for an appointment and did not get an appointment until October 14. I am so familiar with Dr. Betancourt who would see my husband within a day or two. He knew my husband's situation was difficult and never had us wait. He might be one in a million but does anyone know of a pulmonologist that will see his patients when they are ill instead of referring them to an urgent care or the hospital which is exactly what the receptionist at Dr. Carrillo's office said when I questioned her about what my husband should do since this is an emergency. I don't want my husband to start with a physician who only follows his care instead of being proactive. Help!
