The Muenzer MPS Center offers consultation visits to individuals diagnosed with an MPS disorder. These visits provide comprehensive, personalized care tailored to each patient’s unique needs. During these consultations, we may:

  • Educate patients and families about MPS and its management.
  • Address any emerging concerns or questions.
  • Discuss available treatment options or make adjustments to existing plans.
  • Explore current clinical trial opportunities.
  • Assess neurocognitive, developmental, and adaptive functioning.

Our multidisciplinary team is dedicated to providing expert care and empowering families with the knowledge and resources needed to effectively manage MPS.

To schedule a consultation with our team, please complete the Patient Introduction Form. If you have more than one family member diagnosed with MPS, complete a separate form for each. The Muenzer MPS Center Care Team will review your responses and reach out as soon as possible.

Helpful Information to Provide with Patient Referral

When submitting a referral, please include the following information:

  • Reason for referral.
  • Legal guardian information (for patients under 18).
  • Parent/patient concerns.
  • Has the patient or any family member been seen by Medical Genetics?
    • If so, provide when, where, and why, along with records if available.
  • Has the patient or any family member had genetic testing? Examples include:
    • Chromosome analysis, microarray, Fragile X testing, gene panels, or whole exome sequencing.
    • Provide a copy of testing results or details about the type of testing, when, and where it was completed.
  • Has the patient had imaging related to the referral (e.g., MRI, ultrasound, X-rays)?
    • If so, include those records.
  • Pertinent clinical notes from other specialists.

Once all required documents are gathered, medical records—including any previous genetic testing—should be faxed to 919-228-2433.
