Doctor Database
In conjunction with our research efforts, we are aggressively building awareness of the disease among physicians. Given the high rates of mis-diagnosis and under-diagnosis, education is imperative. Specifically, we are targeting physicians who are treating diseases with similar symptoms, such as prostate cancer. As urinary issues are some of the first to present in APBD patients, urologists may be the first physicians to see these patients and can be the first in line for correct diagnosis and treatment.
Unfortunately, APBD is not yet well known or well understood among urologists, or for that matter, among neurologists and other physicians who may unknowingly treat APBD patients for their symptoms and not the underlying condition. Therefore, we are actively conducting targeted education campaigns at national clinical meetings, comprehensive physician mailings, and continuing education seminars.
The APBDR Foundation is pleased to publish a list of physicians who have self-identified as having knowledge of, or experience with, APBD. The publication of this list by the APBDR Foundation is not intended as, nor does the publication constitute, the recommendation, approval or endorsement, by the APBDR Foundation of any of the physicians whose names appear on the list.
