Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: I am ROBPI, global injury, Horner's Syndrome. No surgery but PT started at 2 weeks old under the direction of New York Hospital. I wore a brace 24/7 for the first 11 months of my life. I've never let my injury be used as an excuse not to do something. I've approach all things, in life, as a challenge. I approach anything new wondering if I can do it. I tried so many things I might never have tried, if I were not obpi. Being OBPI has made me strong, creative, more determined and persistent. I believe that being obpi has given me a very strong sense of humor and compassion for others.
Location: New York

I am so happy for you and Mikaela. I am sure she will enjoy all the new movements she gains. Glad you had such a good experience. I am sure it was a hard decision to make.

We actually just got back from an evaluation with him. He performed the Mod Quad operation on my son Ian, one year ago. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Shenaq. He has been very kind and gracious to us every time we have seen him. He is a very gentle man and a very skilled surgeon. I think that there are many highly skilled surgeons in this field, and the final decision you make is a personal one. YOU have to see who you like. Having said that,I think that if you did choose Dr. Shenaq, would would not regret it. Good luck to you.
