I need your help Idaho!

I have been having several patients with connective tissue disorders come to me asking "Can you help me find a primary care provider/PT/cardiologist/etc that knows how to treat these symptoms and will actually listen to me?"

These patients aren't asking for miracles. They're asking for a provider who:

-Understands the complexity of connective tissue disorders

-Won't dismiss their symptoms as anxiety or hypochondria

-Is willing to collaborate on a care plan.

If you are, or know, a physician, PT, OT, cardiologist, rheumatologist, or any specialist in Idaho who has experience and compassion for this patient population, I'd love to hear from you! I'm creating a directory to share with my patients so that they can receive the quality care they have been searching for.

Please comment below or send me a message if you know anyone or a practice. Thank you in advance!

Most people aren’t ignoring their health, they’re just missing key pieces of the puzzle.

If you’ve ever been told everything is “normal” but it doesn’t feel that way, genetics can help explain why and connect the dots.

It adds context to your symptoms, your family history, and even how your body responds to medications.

If you’re curious what that could look like for you, I offer discovery calls to explore whether genetic counseling makes sense.

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1 is one of the most common inherited peripheral neuropathies.

The hallmark? A slow, progressive demyelinating neuropathy that often shows up first as high arches, hammertoes, or “clumsiness” in childhood or young adulthood.

Genetic testing can identify several specific subtypes (most commonly a PMP22 duplication in CMT1A) which matters for prognosis, family planning, and guiding management.

If your patient has unexplained peripheral neuropathy with a family history, a nerve conduction study + targeted genetic panel can be a powerful diagnostic duo.
