About the provider

My name is Dr. Sarah Cullen, DNP, FNP

I am a doctorate-prepared nurse practitioner with over 18 years of clinical experience including pain management, physical medicine & rehabilitation, cerebrovascular disease, oncology, and internal medicine.

I have also been living with lipedema for over 15 years.

As a patient, I found many challenges in my journey with obtaining a diagnosis and finding a knowledgeable provider for this progressive condition. I created this clinic to help support others in their own unique journey, with a provider who truly understands their needs. This clinic focuses on diagnosis and clinical management of lipedema.

Services

At Akeso Lipedema Clinic, your health and well-being are our top priorities. To provide the most individualized care, we have chose to not contract with any insurance providers. Insurance frequently imposes restrictions that prioritize standardized, cost-effective treatments over individualized care. By remaining independent of insurance companies, we can focus on delivering high quality care that empowers you to make the best decisions possible in your treatment plan. This clinic is an out-of-network provider for all insurance plans and has opted out of Medicare. Upon request, the clinic can provide an itemized receipt to the patient to seek reimbursement from their insurance provider, excluding Medicare. Some patients utilize HSA/FSA funds for services. Please check with your insurance provider for eligibility. 

 

Our provider works as a specialty consultant in partnership with your current healthcare team and is not a replacement for your primary care provider.
