Hello everyone :0)

I live in TB Florida and was hoping someone out there knows of a good BP Doc in or near Florida! I was injured during a routing surgical proceedure 2 months ago when the MD severed my 5th nerve root & crushed my 6th. He "said" after he noticed his mistake he sewed it back together???
Presently I have no use of my shoulder & verrrry limited use of the l/hand.

Even worse is the PAIN which is excruciating and 24/7 despite meds & several nerve blocks.

I checked the resource page, and those doc's are a no go.

My fingers & toes are crossed the someone out there can help me


PS. HAPPY 4TH OF JULY TO ALL!

I wish i could help, but the doc we went to was at Miami Children's Hospital- Dr Sanjiv Bhatia.

Best of luck to you. You might want to look into traveling to another state.

I don't know if you have checked this doctor out but here is some info and a link to John A.I. Grossman, M.D., F.A.C.S.

When my husband and I were researching docs to take our daughter to, we found info on him. We ended up staying in Atlanta. However, our attorney in Miami (working with our attorney here in ATL), works pretty closely with Dr.Grossman when he needs to have medical work-ups/evals done to include in BPI cases. Good luck!

My son has been seeing Dr. Grossman since he was 10 weeks old. He is an outstanding doctor!!! I lived in Orlando at the time and commuted to Miami whenever we needed to see him. Well worth the trip! Now I live in Boston and travel to NYC to see him. He is excellent. My son has a Global BPI to his left arm and thanks to Dr. Grossman I believe he never would have had the recovery he did if it wasn't for this man!!
