Paula Galaviz MS, OTR, CHT ...She is listed in our Resources. She seems to work with adult BPI. Wondering if anyone has any experience with her. We see an OT but ours is the first BPI she has seen. I am thinking that Paula may be able to give our OT different ideas. Like maybe we could see Paula once a month and follow through with our therapist or something. Just a thought going through my head.........

Paula attended Camp three year ago in NY.
She is well informed about bpi and has had experience.

I found her to be very personable.
I enjoyed her company.

Hey Sue... I would say t try and get in touch with her! I live in MI and started water therapy a while back. I was my therapists first bpi and Paula gave her TONS of ideas! She was GREAT! Let us know how you get on!

Courtney (TBPI)

We have seen her and she is nice.She seems to know her stuff.She treats kids and adults.I know she visits ubpn and reads the posts so ask her a question if you want.

We have seen her in the past and are currently seeing her for serial casting. She works with both kids and adults, but I think her focus is adults. She is quite knowledgeable and easy to work with.

Sue, I have not seen this therapist but I know that my therapist is a OTR/CHT and she is awesome. If Dustin needs help with hand stuff the CHT's are amazing! I have gotten so much use of my hand in the last two years its great! It cant hurt to try her.
Good Luck!

Paula lives in my community and I knew who she was when she attended our church...When we were taking my son to Froedert in Milwaukee as a baby I frequently saw her there...I do not know her on a real personal level but what I know of her is that she is absolutely a wonderful and very knowledgeable individual...I have had occasion to greet her and she has always been friendly and cordial...I would highly recommend her...Good Luck

My family and I know her well. My daughter has been a patient of hers, since she was 6 months. She is now 5 years old. She is ROBPI. We adore Paula, without her support (she introduce me and my family to UBPN), and knowledge this would have been more diffucult to cope. My daughter calls her Dr. Paula, which fits.

Val,

Well, here I am - Paula Galaviz. I work at Froedtert Hand Center in Milwaukee, WI. I've been here for 15 years, and I've been a therapist for much longer.

Paula is wonderful! I have seen both her and Dr. Matloub several times. As a matter of fact, I will be seeing them tomorrow. Paula has always answered my E-mails when I've had a question. She is very helpful and knowledgeable. A very caring and compassionate person. I'd recommend her in a heart-beat!
