Has anyone hear of Dr.Eric Trumble neurosurgeon out of Orland Florida?? My son is now 11 and we are in a new state so he has to be evaluated and not sure that is the correct type of doctor to start off wth ANY help would be greatly appreshated!! I'm a single mom of two! Thx again

im from the tampa area and no one has ever heard of bpi so I wouldn't even bother over here

I thought I had wrote a reply on this but can't seem to find it.I travel to Dr Grossman and dr price in Miami.They are amazing and specialize in BPI cases.Its a 4 hr drive down there and the traffic is a nightmare But it's all worth it in the care my son gets from them.They have a hospital provided apartment walking distance from Miami children's if your child has any procedures done and it's like $20. A day I believe.As for therapy...that's where I struggle-The previous post says it all.No One knows a thing about BPI anywhere near my area which is sooooo frustrating!!!! I go to a local therapist but basically do it my self!!!! I am 30 to 45 minutes from Orlando.Now a brand new children's hospital called Nemours* They are said to have it all...possible you maybe able to find a BPI Dr there as well.
My cousin is a physical Therapist in Gainsville and they are bringing in a BPI Dr sometime this month from I believe Ohio.She will be shadowing him and working close with him to learn more about bpi's.Ill keep u updated as I hear more.Hope this helps some...don't lose hope,it's out there

Here is an excellent bpi therapist in your area. I know her personally and she has helped a lot of bpi kids.

She's about an Hour south of me in Melbourne But she is amazing!!! The only one. Who specializes in Erbs palsy.I've seen her a few times.Only downfall was she is not in our insurance plan and was $120 a session.We did it twice but just couldn't swing $120 a week.She is a fabulous therapist who knows exactly what to do.I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a therapist and has Her in their coverage plan.Thank You Thou* maybe its an option for the previous posters
