Emory Special Diagnostic Services

What is Emory Special Diagnostic Services?

We are an Emory Clinic practice dedicated to evaluating patients (adults, 18 years and older) with significant, undiagnosed symptoms despite prior medical investigation.

Our team of internal medicine physicians provides specialized expertise and access to the broad network of Emory Healthcare specialists to analyze and diagnose complex conditions. While a conclusive diagnosis is not always possible, our team devotes as much time as necessary in an attempt to determine the source of the problem.

  • Known malignancy without primary source identified 

Are there medical concerns that would not qualify for services?
