LIST OF DOCTORS


Doctors Familiar with Kennedy's Disease

The following doctors' names were given to us by individuals who have KD that utilize their services.  We have been told that these doctors have a familiarity with KD.  They have also agreed to have their name 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.
