Just wondering if anyone been seen by Dr Grattan and how do you rate him? Was thinking of booking a consultation as I suspect I may have mcas but I'm just not sure as he's a dermatologist and because my main symptoms is not hives he may disregard every as not the symptom of mcas. Was hoping someone has gone to him also with not have just skin issues and he understands you can have other issue's with mcas.

What is MCAS.
Hi Charts, Dr Grattan was the one who diagnosed me with MCAS around 4 or 5 years ago now. I had some skin symptoms but not hives. He was still able to recognise the illness and provided me with a diagnosis, medication and an education. I visited him with skin issues, swollen lymph nodes, gut issues, temperature regulation, racing heart.
My diagnosis has now grown into MCAS / Ehlers-Danlos / gut hypermotility after speaking to a specialist gastroenterologist, and I only saw Dr Grattan a few times because my allergy type symptoms really improved after being diagnosed, taking medication and learning how manage my illness.
