APSFA Find a Doctor List
With the help of our Medical Advisory team our forum members & other APS patients, we have compiled a list of doctors who are familiar with APS and who currently treat APS patients. We're always looking for more doctors to add to our list. If you want to add your doctor or find a doctor that needs to be removed from our list, please use the form on our contact us page. For a list of Doctors outside of the USA, please see our Downloads page.
The APSFA does not endorse any of these doctors, they were simply suggested to us by others. The doctors on this list may not be "experts" in APS, but someone along the way has had luck with them. You may not have the same luck. Please be sure to call the office to ensure that the doctor will take your health insurance and is accepting new patients.

Doctors that could not be verified on the American Medical Association website
As stated above, the APSFA does not endorse any of the Doctors listed on this page, they were all recommended to us by APS patients or members of our Medical Advisory Team. The APSFA is not responsible for the care received by said doctors. We do try to verify each doctor's name we receive on the American Medical Association's website.
