Too Many Doctors?
Many adults and children with mitochondrial disease find that they are overwhelmed by multiple specialists. The cardiologist, the gasteroenterologist, the endocrinologist, the neurologist as well as the pediatrician and the metabolic specialist are all expected to coordinate care for the patient and his or her confusing array of symptoms. In reality, the patient (or parent) too often becomes the gatekeeper of all the information, and are frequently frustrated by the challenges of coordinating multiple specialists.
