Do I need a referral in order to be seen at Comfort Clinic?

At Comfort Clinic, we are well-aware of the many obstacles encountered by patients with “invisible” conditions in receiving necessary support and treatment. We are also aware of the widespread lack of basic awareness about Ehlers Danlos Syndrome among the majority of medical specialists. Therefore, we do not require a formal referral from a medical professional to schedule an appointment. However, a referral may be helpful in many instances, and may be of significant assistance in helping us target our treatment towards your specific needs. Further, if you plan to submit a super-bill to your insurance provider for reimbursement, your insurer may require a formal referral was provided in order to provide compensation for your visit with us. Therefore, if you are able to easily obtain a referral from your primary care physician or supportive medical clinician, this is preferred. Such a referral can be faxed to (510) 217-6601.
