Thank you

Not in Philly, but Baltimore is only an hour or so drive from you--if it is for an adult--Dr. Alan Belzberg is THE man for BPI in the area, as is his colleague Dr. Emmanuel Rechthand for EMG testing--Dr. Belzberg is out of Johns Hopkins Hospital--hope this helps!

If you're looking for someone to work with a child Shriner's is awesome (our son just had surgery and post op therapy there) and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia has a top neurologist on staff who runs a bpi clinic with a great therapist.

Hi. This may sound silly but have you tried the Hand Center at Jefferson? These docs are the BEST!
