United Brachial Plexus Network, Inc.

I wished I had been on the site earlier so as to give you this information. You are in Va. Beach (I am in NC), there is a doctor that works for Wake Forest University Baptist Hospital that they have attempted to get in the team at the Mayo Clinic that is excellent surgeon. His name is Dr. Jon Li. I have been to the Mayo Clinic and also Wake Forest University. The team at the Mayo is excellent. Dr. Skinner is the real deal, he himself recommended I stay in Dr. Li's care. I quite possibly will go back to the Mayo for a certain tendon transfer. I recommend you get on the phone and schedule with Dr. Li ASAP (especially if the wait for the Mayo would put you in danger of the 6 month time frame since your injury).

ArmStrong,
I sent you a PM (private message), don't know if you have that function enabled in your profile. I live in LA as well. If you want to talk or email me, feel free. I've been through the ringer with this injury and have learned a lot.
