In Your State
Below is a list of physicians who diagnose and/or treat (many who diagnose do not treat) lipedema and also surgeons and therapists for each state. As I learn of them, I include them and have also included area support groups, many of which have been invaluable in my own search for information and assistance.
Please check back regularly, as I update the list as I find new resources. I try to include links to these resources but sometimes am unable to locate them--these physicians or therapists may have moved and are no longer in the area. Finding physicians to treat and/or diagnose lipedema is very difficult, so I've intentionally kept them here, just in case they can be located again.
Please use the contact form below to let me know if you've located another physician or therapist to add to this resource list. Thank you.
