For PatientsThe more data we have, the more we can understand Kabuki

---

In general, there are two different ways in which a family might utilize the Roya Kabuki Program:

1. One-time/annual Roya Kabuki Clinic Evaluation In some cases, families are looking for a formal evaluation by the Kabuki Champions as a one-time/once a year visit. This may be beneficial for any family who is interested in visiting Boston Children’s Hospital with the goal of receiving recommendations for their care team at home. Ideal for: Patients traveling from out of state/country, patients who have an established, dedicated care team close to home.

2. Establishing a medical home within the Roya Kabuki Clinic Families may also be interested in transferring most or all of their care to the Roya Kabuki Clinic. This may be beneficial for families who need to establish care within many new specialties. Ideal for: Patients within the New England region and/or who do not otherwise have an established care team

Following a thorough medical records review, specialty visits will be scheduled depending on the unique needs of each patient. We will work with you to schedule specialties within a one-week time frame. The Roya Kabuki Program holds clinic on the following days:

• New Patients select Mondays (2 hour visit)

• Return Patients select Mondays (1 hour visit)

• Cardiology
• Communication Services
• Dentistry
• Endocrinology
• ENT
• Immunology
• Neurology
• Nutrition
• Ophthalmology
• Orthopedics
• Rheumatology

Considering the variability in symptoms related to Kabuki syndrome, we understand that your child might benefit from a specialty that is not listed above. If you have questions about an additional specialty, please let us know.

Your initial clinic visit will start and end with a visit with Dr. Olaf Bodamer in Genetics. During your exit-visit Dr. Bodamer will review and summarize the recommendations from all specialties. Dr. Bodamer will also be available to answer any questions you may have and provide a care coordination plan for your local care team.

Boston Children’s Hospital (Main Campus) Fegan Building 4th floor 300 Longwood Avenue Boston, MA 02115

Boston Children’s Hospital has multiple satellite locations just outside of the city. In certain cases, scheduling an appointment at a satellite location might best fit the scheduling needs of your family. You will always be made aware if you have an appointment at a satellite location, and we will assist you in finding appropriate transportation to and from the Main Campus if needed.

A virtual visit offers patient families the opportunity to video communicate with your healthcare provider from the comfort and convenience of your own home. You can find more information on Virtual visits at Boston Children's Hospital here.

A virtual visit is very similar to an in-person clinic visit. It will include a medical intake, review of organ systems/concerns and a virtual exam. There will be sufficient time to address all questions and implement a coordinated care plan.

If you are interested in setting up a virtual visit, we recommend:

After your visit we will work with you to coordinate appropriate follow up care at both Boston Children's Hospital and with your local care team.

Return patients may be eligible to schedule Virtual visits with providers in the Roya Kabuki Clinic.
