Hypermobility Happy Hour

On this episode, Dr. Jeffrey Boris, a board-certified pediatric cardiologist and general pediatrician talks about his experience caring for patients with POTS since 2002. He has worked with patients who have multiple other diagnoses alongside their POTS, including joint hypermobility with or without Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, concussions, mast cell activation syndrome, Sjögren syndrome, eosinophilic esophagitis, median arcuate ligament syndrome, and other conditions. Dr. Boris advocates a creative, multi-pronged approach to helping children get back to school, sports, and their lives. He has published research in acclaimed medical journals to help doctors better understand POTS so more physicians will be available to treat it and join research efforts to better understand this disorder. In 2016, Dr. Boris was named “Physician of the Year” by Dysautonomia International, a leading organization seeking to improve the lives of people with autonomic nervous system disorders. He was recognized for his warmth, compassion and tireless commitment to his pediatric and young adult patients.
