We are adding a comprehensive Syringomyelia & Chiari Multidisciplinary Physician Directory. We will have one for children and one for adults.
Why is the Syringomyelia & Chiari Multidisciplinary Physician Directory Needed? Syringomyelia and Chiari can cause widespread symptoms as well as numerous co-existing complications. More than one specialty is often needed to manage the ongoing care of men, women, and children living with Syringomyelia and Chiari. We conducted an online survey about the availability of access to ongoing medical care for Syringomyelia and Chiari. The overwhelming responses we received revealed that there is limited access to ongoing medical care for Syringomyelia and Chiari all over the globe across all medical disciplines.
We are optimistic that this directory could serve as both an informational resource and a useful tool for our members. The directory will be maintained by WSCTF. We will create two buttons on this page that will link to downloadable PDF's for our members to print. One button will link to a physician directory for adults, and the second button will link to a physician directory for children. Both PDF's will be available for viewing on our website. The physicians on the directory will be listed by state or country and area of specialty. We accept submissions from physicians as well as members who would like to list their physician. We do have a verification process detailed below.
Please note: All submissions of physician names are verified for authenticity (verifying active licensure) and good standing with their medical board before being added to the directory. We will then list the physician on the Syringomyelia & Chiari Multidisciplinary Physician Directory by state or country, and area of specialty.
We are always happy to list medical professionals who advocate for men, women, and children with Syringomyelia and Chiari malformation.
Reasons for Directory Exclusion:
WSCTF is led by physicians and nurses. WSCTF may choose not to add a physician to the directory or remove a physician from the directory at any time at the sole discretion of WSCTF. We determine this using the following principles:
1. A physician has had their license suspended or revoked by their medical board. This applies at all times.
2. Criminal Activity.
3. A conflict of interest arises that would jeopardize WSCTF or conflict of interest with its medical advisory board members. Our 501c3 organization follows strict guidelines and even though this listing is for informational purposes only it is provided on the WSCTF website and as such we will adhere to our policy. Click here to view our conflict of interest policy.
The Syringomyelia & Chiari Multidisciplinary Physician Directory is simply an informational tool for our members with regard to listing physicians of various specialties who have treated or are willing to treat men, women, and children with Syringomyelia and Chiari. The directory does not serve as an endorsement by physicians listed to WSCTF and it does not serve as an endorsement by WSCTF to physicians listed on the directory. It is for informational purposes only.
WSCTF is hopeful that the list will serve as a network and supplement to help address the current disparity of having to travel across many states for ongoing medical care with regard to Syringomyelia and Chiari. The expansive directory will pave the path to networking and discovery of possible providers available in each state or country that otherwise may not be known. When choosing a provider the decision rests with the patient and they are encouraged to do their own research about a provider when making their selection. Please refer to our privacy policy located at the bottom of this page for more information.
