Hello and welcome! You should get a referral from your PH Clinic...assuming you are going to one. You are lucky enough to live a reasonable distance from the Cleveland Clinic which is one of the finest PH Clinics in the country by reputation. I know there is also a clinic in Cincinnati. There is also one in Detroit and 1 in Ann Arbor.

Here's a link to find PH Clinics within a reasonable commute from you if you aren't already being seen by one. https://mypha.phassociation.org/Online/Online/S...

How can you find a good cardiologist who understands pulmonary hypertension in your area?

Finding a cardiologist who specializes in pulmonary hypertension can make a significant difference in your care. Here are some practical steps to help you locate one:

Ask for a referral from your current doctor:
- Your primary care provider or pulmonologist can refer you to a PAH specialist
- Some health plans require referrals to see specialists anyway
- Don't hesitate to ask for multiple recommendations so you can choose

Connect with other myPHteam members:
- Ask members in your area who they see and if they're satisfied with their care
- Local and online support groups can be valuable resources for recommendations
- Other patients often have firsthand experience with specialists in your region

Use professional directories:
The Pulmonary Hypertension Association provides a free directory that can help you search for clinicians who treat PAH in your area.

Consider traveling if needed:
Some members drive an hour or more to see their specialist. While it's not ideal, having an experienced PAH cardiologist is worth the extra effort.

Remember, if you're not happy with your current care or not getting better, keep looking until you find the right fit. Your health comes first, and getting a second opinion is completely appropriate.
