Physician Registry

Choosing a doctor is a bit like trying on shoes; a perfect fit may be different for each individual. The following list has been compiled by pain patients who have had positive experiences with these physicians.

Hello! Welcome to the 2020 Doctor List. This list was the joint effort of a few zebras (that is, those with rare diseases such as CRPS and EDS) done in their spare time, so forgive any mistakes made. The information listed here is only as accurate as the people who shared with us at one time, so please let us know if a doctor retired or if you have a more current recommendation. Some doctors may only see kids, others may only see adults, so feel free to call yourself or ask in a local FB group to find more good options. There are wonderful state groups for EDS or CRPS or POTS that can be wonderful resources, or else you can email us at cheryl@tcapp.org. Also, if you see a doctor at a teaching hospital, you may need to see a resident first or be referred to another doctor. Try to go with specific recommendations mentioned and ask in your local state FB groups about specific doc personalities/likes so you can be best prepared for your appointment. Find more state docs on “Top Docs” lists or at www.ehlers-danlos.com under “MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS DIRECTORY” or at www.dysautonomiainternational.org under “Medical Board” or “Interactive Global Dysautonomia Map” or info from NORD (National Organization of Rare Diseases). Look at ratings and see from state medical boards if any issues/lawsuits that concern you. There may also be international groups or resources, like the Ehlers-Danlos in the UK. If you have a physician that you would like to share information about, please email us at info@tcapp.org. TCAPP does not endorse these doctors.
