Primary care doctors, although knowledgeable about various medical conditions, often lack awareness and confidence when it comes to Alpha-Gal Syndrome (AGS). According to a CDC survey, a significant percentage of primary care providers - 42% - are unfamiliar with AGS, while 35% express a lack of confidence in diagnosing or effectively managing the condition. Additionally, 48% are unaware of the specific tests required for accurate diagnosis. This highlights the importance of increasing education and awareness about AGS among healthcare providers to improve patient care and outcomes.
In July 2023, CDC warned that many U.S. healthcare providers don't know much about alpha-gal syndrome. CDC's tick center has details on alpha-gal, like a simple guide for doctors. It's a good info source for your regular doctor, especially if they're new to alpha-gal.
The Mayo Clinic in Minnesota gives detailed info on alpha-gal syndrome, more than the CDC. Alpha-gal sufferers can make a medical profile and ask for an appointment online.
