New patient-EDS-what to expect? Ongoing joint problems

@awesomerawson

Welcome to Mayo Connect. If you're new to Mayo, you will find all specialists within one clinic environment helps coordinate care. Normally, the first provider you see can be thought of as your quarterback. They are your main contact, and if they feel you need to see another specialist, they can consult with other providers or request a referral. If you see other providers on the same visit will depend on availability. Normally, those appointments are not scheduled until you see the first provider, who then reviews and discusses with the patient how to proceed.
