Honoring Doctors Who Support the Lipedema Community

March 30 is National Doctors' Day, a time to recognize the dedicated physicians, surgeons, and therapists who play a vital role in the lipedema journey.

The Lipedema/Lipoedema Project Provider Directory connects individuals with trusted providers worldwide, including doctors, surgeons, lymphatic therapists, and more. This directory is built by the lipedema community to help others find the care they need.

Do you have a doctor, surgeon, or therapist who has helped you? Mention them in the comments to thank them for their support.

You can also encourage them to be listed in our provider directory. Contact directory@lipedemaproject.org or visit https://lipedemaproject.org/lipedema-lipoedema-lipodem-provider-directory/ to look for provider if you have none yet.

Together, we can build a stronger support network for lipedema care.
