• Find A Physician

Expand Your Care Team

The leukodystrophies are rare – and it seems like the physicians that are knowledgeable on the leukodystrophies are even rarer. The United Leukodystrophy Foundation (ULF) can help you find a physician! They have knowledgeable Medical and Scientific Advisory Board physicians as well as list of physicians that treat leukodystrophies, and they’re actively adding new people with the hopes of identifying at least one specialist in each of the 50 United States. ULF has a limited number of international physicians as well, and it will be a goal to have an additional list including global physicians in the future.
