Finally, we see patients with significant joint hypermobility in the presence of additional findings.  Care is provided in close collaboration with the team from the Aorta Clinic of the Ottawa Heart Institute for our adult patients and with Dr. Lai and other pediatric cardiologists for our pediatric patients.”
