Pfizer Inc. is providing this tool with a third party, Doctor.com, to help patients find physicians in their area who have experience with prescription treatments for ATTR-CM. While the directory is updated regularly, the search results may not include current physician information or a comprehensive list of all physicians who treat ATTR-CM. If you are a cardiologist and would like your listing to be added, updated, or removed, please contact Doctor.com.

No fees have been received by Pfizer Inc. or paid to physicians for inclusion in this directory. Inclusion of a physician in this directory does not represent an endorsement by or a recommendation from Pfizer Inc., nor does it imply that the physicians on the list will determine that treatment is right for you. You are ultimately responsible for the selection of a physician, and it is an important decision that you should consider carefully. This tool is just one source of information available to you.

Doctor.com may have its own terms of service and privacy policy for which Pfizer Inc. has no responsibility. Pfizer Inc. and Doctor.com do not collect patient- or physician-level data from this tool.

Tips if you’re newly diagnosed with ATTR-CM:

  • Understand that ATTR-CM is a rare, life-threatening, progressive heart condition, which means it will get worse over time
  • Discuss treatment options with your doctor as soon as your diagnosis is confirmed. The sooner you start treatment, the sooner you can begin to slow disease progression
  • It can be helpful to connect with other people diagnosed with ATTR-CM

Early diagnosis is important so that treatment can begin as soon as possible
