“Ask The Experts” is a forum through which individuals may pose questions to the PPA Medical Advisory Board.  

Answers to these questions are for informational purposes only and do not constitute medical advice nor should they be acted upon without consultation of an individual’s treating physician.  The PPA archives Ask The Experts questions, and from time to time answers and associated email trials.

While we attempt to maintain privacy of the questions and of the submitter, we cannot guarantee privacy.  Specifically, questions and identifying submitter information posed to Ask the Experts are emailed to one or another Medical Advisor of the PPA’s choosing.  The PPA does not restrict its Medical Advisors in how such emails are handled.  The submitter agrees to hold harmless the PPA, the PPA Board, and the PPA Medical Advisors from any injury resulting from PPA Ask the Expert replies or information.
