Concierge primary care for patients with hypermobility, from physicians who understand.
Our family has three generations of individuals living with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS). We’ve built the clinic we wish existed—for our family and yours.
We are a family of physicians (primary care, orthopedics, and ophthalmology) that bring a personal perspective and an understanding of the complexities of treating patients with hypermobility and related conditions (MCAS, POTS, Dysautonomia).
Our physicians are licensed in the state of New York.
At this time, we are only able to see patients in New York.
Visits are available in-person at our office in Albany, New York or via Telehealth (for patients physically located in New York at time of care).
For me, this is personal.
My name is Dr. Rani Gandham. I’m a practicing pediatrician in the state of New York who, through lived experience, became a rehabilitation expert in conditions such as dysautonomia, mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), cervical instability, thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS), and hypermobility-related syndromes for all ages.
This work is personal. My adult son (now 34) and my young granddaughter (now 4) both have hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS), along with associated autonomic, venous compression, and mast cell issues.
When my son became sick, we struggled to get answers. After finally receiving a diagnosis, we traveled across the country seeing top specialists…regenerative medicine providers, GI doctors, rheumatologists, orthopedists, cardiologists, endocrinologists. Everyone had a theory. Many were right. But no one was integrating the full picture.
We eventually developed a systems-based approach to treating symptoms from hypermobility: one that draws from multiple disciplines, integrates treatment in a logical sequence, and accounts for how the nervous system (POTS, Dysautonomia, Chronic Fatigue), immune system (MCAS, histamine), and connective tissues interact. That framework helped my son get back to his normal life, and now it forms the basis of our clinic.
Our clinic’s care team is able to provide robust, comprehensive care reflective of the complex nature of hEDS and its related conditions. My husband is an ophthalmologist whose office provides advanced retinal and optic nerve imaging to flag signs of intracranial hypertension—a hidden but occurring issue in patients with autonomic dysfunction. My brother and his wife are orthopedic surgeons in New York City who consult on complex joint instability cases. My son is a strength coach in the clinic also providing his lived experience of the rehabilitation journey.

Mast cell activation and histamine-related issues
GI motility issues, acid reflux, gastritis, SIBO, and gut-brain axis disruption
Spinal instability (Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, Craniocervical Instability, SI Joint dysfunction)
Pediatric and multi-generational hypermobility presentations
Pain and Chronic Fatigue

We are a high-attention concierge medicine family practice.
This is a low-volume, high-attention concierge medicine practice. We limit patient capacity to no more than 100 patients per year, so I can provide an exceptional level of hands-on care to each patient and continue to care for my own family’s needs with hEDS as well.
