“Many of my patients have seen doctors who do not understand how their symptoms fit together to form fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome, and patients have been made to feel their symptoms are not worthy of attention.
I have lived with these frustrations, and am passionate about properly diagnosing, educating, and guiding my patients to better health.”
— Dr. Congdon
