EDS Healthcare in Texas
UT Southwestern in Dallas is a leader in EDS research and clinical care. Mind+Body Medicine in Dallas has an intensive outpatient program for EDS patients. Texas Medicaid implemented a new genetic testing policy effective October 2025 that covers testing with documented medical necessity. The Texas Association of Genetic Counselors supports statewide access to genetic evaluation.
Texas's vast geography creates enormous access disparities. The Dallas-Fort Worth area has the strongest EDS resources, but patients in South Texas, West Texas, the Panhandle, and East Texas may face drives of 5-8 hours to reach specialized care. The state's sheer size means telehealth is essential for many patients. Wait times at UT Southwestern can also be significant.
Finding Nutrition / Dietetics for EDS
Ask whether the dietitian has experience with the EDS-related conditions that affect eating, including gastroparesis, MCAS food triggers, and SIBO.
