Mast Cell Activation Syndrome Specialists in Chicago & Illinois

Illinois is home one of the largest cities in the country, but there are still surprisingly few doctors who treat Mast Cell Activation Syndrome and related MCAS Trifecta conditions like Ehlers-Danos Syndrome and POTS.  People often wonder what kind of doctor diagnoses and treats MCAS.  For the most part, Allergists & Immunologists tend to treat MCAS, but we've found that the specialty is often less important than the specific doctors personal and professional experience. Tryptase testing a hotly contested topic among researchers, and in our opinion, the only doctors worth seeing are the ones who can translate research to help patients. Excessively stringent diagnosis criteria is great for research purity, but it should not get in the way of highly beneficial, low risk treatment options.
