About
Scottsdale Rheumatology Center in Scottsdale, AZ is a rheumatology provider specializing in care for Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and hypermobility conditions.
EDS Healthcare in Arizona
The Center for Complex Neurology, EDS & POTS in Phoenix, led by Dr. David Saperstein, follows over 2,500 EDS patients and is one of the most experienced EDS practices in the country. Mayo Clinic Scottsdale offers a connective tissue disorders program. The Arizona Genetics Alliance provides genetic counseling resources statewide.
While Phoenix and Scottsdale have strong EDS resources, Arizona's vast rural areas — particularly in the northern and eastern regions — face significant travel barriers to specialist care. AHCCCS (Arizona Medicaid) covers genetic testing including Rapid Whole Genome Sequencing, which is a notable benefit.
