“The Camp was the first time where I was surrounded by adults who understood and knew about TS. They supported us but didn’t underestimate us or treat us as though we were less intelligent or less capable. I don’t think you can put into words what the support and social bonding means to kids like me, who don’t have a community at home. I think the TS Camp is invaluable and I can’t wait to go back. It’s made me feel a lot more confident and know that can achieve anything I want.”

“I can honestly say that the day we picked her up from Camp was one of the best days of my life. We walked into a courtyard near the campus chapel and [she] was surrounded by at least half a dozen girls. They were happily talking and hugging, and it was clear that [she] now had something every young person should have: real friends. I am not embarrassed to say that I stepped away from that scene and cried. This experience marked a huge change in [my daughter’s] life.”

In addition to his practice at Children's Hospital Los Angeles, Dr. Geffner provides medical care for adult women with Turner Syndrome in an interdisciplinary clinic at USC, with on-site participation by specialists in genetics, cardiology, cardio-thoracic surgery, and reproductive endocrinology.
