Jobst Vascular Institute - Fostoria
About
Based in Fostoria, Ohio, this other practice focuses on hypermobility, POTS and dysautonomia and more. Licensed in Ohio and Michigan, we offer telehealth services though not for the initial consultation. We specialize in the diagnosis of Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes, and treatment of EDS comorbidities. We can obtain genetic testing if necessary. Providers in our connective tissue clinic are passionate about identifying the comorbidities associated with EDS, including dysautonomia, IBS, chronic hypermobility associated pain, chronic fatigue, TMJ disorders, MCAS, pelvic venous insufficiency, median arcuate ligament syndrome, May-Thurner syndrome, and referring to specialists as needed. Our care philosophy includes shared decision making, a team-based approach to patients’ care, listening and making patients feel heard.

These programs provide strong options for both pediatric and adult patients.
Ohio's EDS resources are concentrated in Columbus and Cincinnati. Patients in rural Appalachian southeastern Ohio, the northwest, and smaller cities may face significant drives. Adult patients may find fewer dedicated EDS options compared to the strong pediatric programs.
