Find care

Start with the right clinic and the right questions.

NF care may involve several specialties. Use trusted directories to find experienced providers, then confirm that the clinic serves your age group, NF diagnosis, and current needs.

Pediatric to adult care

Transitioning to Adult Care

Health care transition is a gradual process of planning, transferring care, and becoming established in adult-centered care. The timing and team will differ from person to person, so begin early enough to reduce the chance of a gap in care.

Questions and actionsBegin the conversation
  • Ask when pediatric care ends and when transition planning begins.
  • Identify which current providers can continue seeing you as an adult.
  • Ask whether the pediatric team recommends an adult NF clinic or other adult providers.
  • Check whether insurance, referrals, authorizations, or consent rules will change.
Questions to ask
  • At what age does pediatric care end here, and what must be completed before then?
  • Which responsibilities can I begin practicing now, and where will I still need support?
