United Brachial Plexus Network, Inc.

We are going to be adding pages specifically for TBPI when our new software is ready, and we want to make it easier to find specialists who can help the TBPI community.

While many centers treat only OBPI, we are looking for centers who will see both children and adult TBPI.

So if you can, please either post here or email richard@ubpn.org so I can put the information together. I am also searching throughout the net for centers as well

Thanks for your help.

In response,
This is who I've been seeing, and who did my surgery as a result of my LTBPI from a motorcycle accident. I have no idea if he treats kids as I'm 31.

Rich, James goes to Mayo in Mn. Drs. Bishop, Spinner & Shin. His therapist is Nancy Murphy in Charlotte, NC (Charlotte Institute of Rehabilitation). Dr. Maureen Nelson (PM&R) is also in Charlotte, NC. They all work closely together for James and have been amazing since his accident in 2003.

Rich,

Rick goes to Dr. Lynda Yang at University of Michigan Hospital, Ann Arbor. They have a Brachial Plexus Clinic there.

Hi.

I had Dr. Alexander Mih from the Indiana Hand Center perform my surgery. He mainly works with infant BPIs but I was referred to him and he performed my surgery - so I believe he also does adults TBPI, just not as often.

I also was referred to John E. McGillicuddy at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. I spoke with their office and they seem really good, but because of the situation with my injury and miscommunication (not U of Michigans fault at all though) I had already scheduled surgery with Dr. Mih.

Both have great credentials though. I had an excellent experience with Dr. Mih.

Dr. Curtain at Stanford Medical Center. TBPI on July 3, 2008, my son has had two surgeries thus far.

Thanks guys,

Keep em coming!!

The information from here, will help us identify therapists and facilities that we are going to put into a separate area for those seeking information for TBPI. So if you haven't replied, consider doing so, it will help others

Melanie had surgery with Drs. Shin, Bishop amd Spinner at Mayo and her neurosurgeon here in PA is Dr. Kim Harbaugh at Hershey Med.
