I live in Burlington, NC about 25 miles from Duke University Medical Center. I couldn't find a female doctor with APS experience. Could you give me a bit more information and maybe I can help. I also have APS and have lost left leg from 5 clots & right eye from Stroke. Have had 4 strokes and feel like the luckiest person in the world because that's all I've lost.

Will help if I can!!!

Thank you for the information. I called this afternoon. Dr. Allen is not accepting any new patients. But Duke has more doctors that are accepting new patients. A doctor's referral is needed to make an appointment.
