Patient-Recommended Physicians
If it’s not practical for you to make an appointment with one of the experts, try one of the patient-recommended physicians listed below. Unlike the list of doctors we recommend in the Physician Experts section, we can’t recommend these doctors, because we, the authors of this website, don’t know anything about many of them. However, all were recommended to us by patients with AGS, and the list may be helpful to you in your search for a local physician who has at least heard of AGS.
For more patient recommendations, ask in the Alpha Gal Support Nonpublic Facebook Group.
