Kennedy's Disease Association

Kennedy’s Disease Knows No Boundaries...

The following doctors' names were given to us by individuals who have Kennedy's Disease (KD) that utilize their services. We have been told that these doctors have a familiarity with KD. They have also agreed to have their names and contact information posted on the KDA Web site.

While the Kennedy's Disease Association cannot recommend any one physician, we can make these names available by geographic location and give you the opportunity to decide if you would like to make contact with them. This list is not all encompassing. There are many doctors who are not on this list that treat KD and have knowledge of KD that we have not yet contacted and invited to be on this list.

If you have a doctor that you wish to recommend and have received permission to list him/her with the KDA, please send the information to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
