Same as previous. I know my condition was very routine for the pulmonary specialists, but on my end, it had been a major issue for months. The nurse practitioner prescribed an inhaler that was immediately effective, and I am greatly appreciative of her knowledge.

While the last time I say this PA, she did seem to care. This time was a no. She did not explain my test results, although she said she did on the summary for my visit. She did not ask.me any of the care questions and guessed at them. I still don't know any of the risks because of the shot she suggested but she wrote on my.notes that we went over it...I know there are risks. That's all. Not what they are. I asked her at the beginning if there was a virtual option because the building made me sick.and it was hard to breath. She told me that she does not do it because she wants to spend time with her patients, but what I was there for was just a test results and to order meds. And we didn't even talk about that I don't understand my results at all. I had a friend with me and there were other tests we wanted to get and while she.looked them up( and we physically saw there were those test options) she refused and said just avoid latex. Because I was having an anaphylaxis reaction inside the office and asked about getting virtual appointments I feel like I was not treated well and this appointment was a waste of my time. Please understand. I wear a respirator mask into this office which was just slowing the reaction...not stopping it. After a wait for the doctor ( where im struggling to breathe and notice my vision is starting to change) my friend wanted to ask the nurse how long it would be waiting for her and if we needed to reschedule. When the PA came in, she made sure I knew she had just told someone they had lung cancer and I was being unreasonable. I was struggling to breathe and just wanted to reschedule or know how long. Not to be made feel guilt because I wasted my time.coming in. During my first appointment, she said she would call me if anything was found so we could order an allergy shot. She did not call. Did not order it( or start the process). I am not in a better situation now,then I was before coming into the office and will likely need to find a new Dr. I will not be going back to her. Not that I expect answers but I do expect respect.

She is the 4th dr I have seen for this issue. She was the absolute best. She listened when others disregarded. She took me seriously and didn't treat me like it was only in my head. She consulted the Dr and asked so many questions. I couldn't have asked for a better appointment

Whitley Harris is amazing
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 2/10/2025
As someone with asthma, I'm so relieved to find a practitioner like Whitley! I've also learned a lot about this process. There are some things that my time in the pulmonology clinic will help with (like medication changes, tests, etc.), but there are other things that are less covered (environmental concerns / strategies, considering longer term consequences). I got a coach through the Asthma & Allergy network, and with both PAs combined I feel well covered now. I do think that it would be helpful to provide a service like that through Emory, because I had to seek it out on my own.

Whitley Harris was very concerned about my problem with my C PAB equipment and getting me set up with the right firm to get my problem solved. At home Medical was calling me by the time I got home with an appointment time and to get the issue taken care of.
