EDS Healthcare in Virginia
The UVA Health EDS and Hypermobility Disorders Center in Charlottesville, founded by Dr. Dacre Knight (who came from Mayo Clinic), is a significant new resource for the state and region. It received over 550 patient requests within its first month of opening. Bethesda Physiocare in nearby Maryland is an EDS Society Center of Excellence. Northern Virginia patients also have access to D.C.-area programs including Johns Hopkins.
Central and northern Virginia patients have good access to the UVA program in Charlottesville and D.C.-area resources. However, rural western Virginia and the southeastern Tidewater region face more limited options. The UVA program's rapid demand suggests wait times may be significant. Hampton Roads patients have a local support group but limited specialist access.
Finding Primary Care / Internal Medicine for EDS
Look for a PCP willing to serve as your care coordinator across multiple specialists and who screens for EDS cardiovascular, GI, and neurological complications at regular intervals.
