Looking for a doctor

Post by Mindy »

I posted on the traumatic brachial plexus board but got no response... I am wondering if there is a specialist at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota that works with adults. Or even the name of someone who works with adults that accepts video tapes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Mindy,
There is a post a few pages back where a guest named Tracy posted some info on the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. They treated her daughter. I am not sure if they work with adults or not. And it is my understanding that the Docs from Texas Children's also work with adults.
Feel free to e-mail me if you need help finding that post.

Hi!
I was in contact with a lady from the minnesota area a while back. She actually had surgery at the mayo clinic when she was in her late twenties I believe. The surgeon who operated on her was Dr. Robert Cofield. I put the link to him below. I think they did some tendon transfers. Anyways I believe you can contact the clinic to find out more information. Good luck.

I wanted to thank you all. I did get a hold of the Mayo Clinic and now have to start all the work to try and get the auto insurance company to pay for it. Thank you again and God bless.
