Types of Clinics
Due to the many X and Y Chromosome variations, not all clinics specialize in all conditions. Below is a listing of ACRC clinics. The specific conditions and patient ages served by the clinic are noted in the description.
Multidisciplinary Clinics
Some clinics are multidisciplinary in their services. A multidisciplinary clinic provides a comprehensive, integrated approach to caring for individuals. Patient visits are organized to provide access to all necessary medical, psychological, and therapy disciplines in one visit. Professionals then meet, discuss each case, then collaborate to develop a fully coordinated care plan tailored to the patient. Some clinics also provide “take-home” materials for local medical, therapy and school professionals. Please review each clinic’s website and/or description of its services for information regarding its specific approach to seeing patients. If unsure about the types of services provided, be sure to ask at the time an appointment is scheduled.
