Marfan-savvy doctors in Baltimore

• The Comprehensive Marfan Syndrome Center at Johns Hopkins Hospital
  • Hal Dietz, geneticist

If you are coming for an initial Marfan assessment (i.e., a comprehensive exam to determine if you have Marfan Syndrome), you will visit the Johns Hopkins University Medical Genetics Clinic, which sees patients Mondays and Tuesdays at one of two Baltimore locations.
