Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Specialists in Chicago and Illinois

Illinois is home one of the largest cities in the country, but there are still surprisingly few doctors who treat Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Hypermobility, and related conditions like MCAS and POTS. There are quite a few EDS specialists who practice across the the state line in Indiana so we've included some of those here as well. People often wonder what kind of doctor diagnoses and treats EDS, but we've found that the specialty is often less important than the specific doctors personal and professional experience. Some type of EDS require genetic testing for a diagnosis, but the vast majority of cases cannot be identififed through genetic testing.
