Hey Everyone
This is my first time posting on these boards and don't know if, I'm posting the right section but, if you can help me out I'm all for it. My name is Joe Haywood and I was born with Spastic Cerebral Palsy I'm classified as a left sided hemi quad. I am 27 years old now and live in Tampa. The reason I'm posting is to ask you all for some advice. I recently ran across several articles dealing with Brachial Plexus SDR surgery. These articles got my attention and interest a lot because when I was younger myself and my family primarily concentrated on my lower extremities. I went through years of PT to help out with my problem and when I was three and a half we traveled to Virgina undergo a Spinal SDR to lessen the spasticity in my legs. Now I'm hoping to get the same kind of results for my left arm.
Now on to why I'm reaching out to you all, since reading those articles I have researched for the best doctor in the country, preferably in the southeast? So, that both of my folks could travel with me for appointments and hopeful the operation that could help me. I was told that Dr. Jorge Orbay down in Miami was the best in the field in Florida.
Please anyone that can provide insight for my quest to find the best doctor to help me, please respond.
