The Driscoll Approach™

About POTS Care

Dr. Diana Driscoll, Optometrist and Clinical Director, is an EDS patient (Ehlers-Danlos syndrome) who recovered from POTS, as have her children. Dr. Driscoll began studying POTS and running numerous clinical trials when traditional treatment for POTS failed for them, and they were convinced there were medical reasons for their illness. She established Genetic Disease Investigators, LLC to conduct studies and began finding answers via unique ocular testing. Dr. Driscoll is intimately familiar with POTS, chronic fatigue, brain fog, immune system decline, gastroparesis and other G.I. problems, poor temperature regulation, interstitial cystitis, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and other conditions affecting these patients.

“You can absolutely recover from POTS. My case and that of my kids stand as evidence of that as do many of the patients who come to POTS Care. POTS as a problem with orthostatic tachycardia can absolutely go away. Many of us have things we manage in our health to keep us from developing POTS.”

– Diana Driscoll, Optometrist

You may know Diana Driscoll, OD from her book “The Driscoll Theory” — a ground-breaking book that dramatically shifted how POTS (and EDS) patients were evaluated and treated. Dr. Driscoll has worked tirelessly to promote awareness and education concerning these conditions, is recognized as the first person to use the now common #EDS hashtag on Twitter, and has reached out to help others on her forum at Prettyill.com, now known worldwide.

All physicians and PA’s on the team are carefully selected for their experience in “invisible illnesses”, their compassion and patience. Dr. Derek Lang, DO, Medical Director and Dr. Stephanie Cudjoe, MD are integral to patient care (pictured below). Some physicians assist directly in patient care, while others are available for consultations as needed. Because experience in these conditions is a rarity, the physicians at POTS Care may need to consult with specialists outside of the local area. All of these costs are included in your fee. An integral part of the team are the doctors who work behind the scenes.

POTS Care has licensed the rights to use the collective knowledge obtained by the research of a variety of specialists involved in Genetic Disease Investigators, LLC. Although currently not directly involved in POTS Care, their work has been instrumental in creating the algorithms needed to evaluate POTS patients in a more thorough, yet efficient manner. When you are evaluated at POTS Care, it’s as if dozens of doctors that you never see are contributing their knowledge to your care. This new model for evaluation and treatment was a necessary step in providing patients with the best care possible in the least amount of time possible.

POTS Recovery

At POTS Care, it’s personal!

“You and your kids need neck fusions, Chiari surgeries, lumbar punctures and brain shunts. Drink lots of water, eat lots of salt, take pain medication and antidepressants.”

These were the instructions given the Driscolls, but at POTS Care, we now know that these treatments are generally ineffective.

“In many patients, invasive surgeries can be evaded (or limited), progression of the condition can be arrested, and disability can be avoided.”

– Diana Driscoll, OD
