Patient-Recommended Physicians
If it’s not practical for you to make an appointment with an alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) expert, you may want to try one of the patient-recommended physicians listed below.
Unlike the physicians on the Physician Experts page, most of the physicians on this page are not experts and were not recommended to us by experts. They have been recommended by patients with alpha-gal syndrome. The authors of this website have no first-hand knowledge of the majority of these doctors. Therefore, we cannot endorse them ourselves. However, the list may be helpful to you in your search for a local physician who is at least familiar with AGS.
Another way to find an alpha-gal-aware physician is to ask in regional support groups.
