Do you diagnose hEDS?+
I evaluate hypermobility using the current clinical criteria and manage symptoms. hEDS is a clinical diagnosis — there's no confirmatory genetic test for it. Genetic testing is used to evaluate for other heritable connective tissue disorders, and I'll refer to genetics when that's indicated.
Can you treat POTS?+
Yes, I manage the symptoms of POTS and other forms of dysautonomia — hydration and sodium strategy, paced conditioning, and medication when appropriate. If your presentation suggests a cardiac cause that needs direct workup, I'll coordinate with your cardiologist.
What about MCAS?+
Mast cell activation symptoms are managed with trigger identification, a stepwise medication trial, and clear endpoints. Testing for mast cell disorders has real limitations, and I'll be honest about what a result does and doesn't tell us.
Do you treat lipedema?+
I evaluate and support lipedema medically — pain management, conservative therapy, compression guidance, and referral for lymphatic or surgical care when indicated. I don't perform procedures.
Can you treat hEDS, POTS, and MCAS online?+
Much of this care works well over telehealth: history, records review, symptom mapping, medication management, and ongoing adjustments. What telehealth can't do is a hands-on exam or in-office testing, so when that's needed I coordinate it locally with you.
Do I need a diagnosis before booking?+
No. Many patients arrive undiagnosed or partially diagnosed. Bring whatever records you have and we'll start with the history.
Which states do you see complex care patients in?+
Complex care is available in 40+ states where I'm licensed. You can check your state with the eligibility checker on this site before booking.
Do you take insurance?+
No. Visits and membership are cash-pay. HSA and FSA cards are accepted, and I can provide an itemized receipt or superbill you may submit to your insurer for possible out-of-network reimbursement — reimbursement isn't guaranteed. Laboratory testing and imaging, if ordered, can frequently be billed through your insurance.
Is the $399 credited toward my membership?+
No. The evaluation fee covers the 75–90 minute initial visit and full records review. If you'd like ongoing management after that, it continues through the Ongoing Complex Care Membership: $169 per month, $954 for 6 months, or $1,788 annually.
What happens after the initial evaluation?+
The $399 evaluation can stand on its own — you leave with a written plan you're welcome to take back to your primary care clinician or specialists. If you'd rather I manage the plan with you over time, ongoing care is membership-based: $169 per month, $954 for 6 months, or $1,788 annually. Ongoing management, prescription adjustments, and messaging are available through membership only.
What is direct messaging for?+
Messaging is for questions and check-ins related to your active treatment plan — side effects, dose questions, how a trial is going. It isn't a substitute for evaluating a new problem; when something new comes up, we'll schedule a visit for it.
Do you help with prior authorizations?+
Routine prior authorization support is included for treatments I'm actively managing through your membership. Prior authorization work isn't included with a one-time evaluation.
How long before I see progress?+
Honestly, this is slower work than a single-symptom program. Most patients see meaningful change over months, not weeks, because we change one variable at a time to know what's actually helping.
Can I combine this with hormone therapy or weight management?+
Often, yes. Many patients in this program also have a hormone or metabolic component. We'll talk through whether it makes sense to combine programs or handle it within this one.
