Thank you Liz. I must say, if it were not for people like you on these boards, I don't know how I would cope with my son's pain. I feel like I have so many friends here and so many mother's like myself who turn to you all for courage and strength. God Bless You!

Dr. Kline also agreed, he has sent all of Gianni's records to Dr. W...

<r>Has anyone been to Dr. Wolfe in Manhattan. I am in the process of scheduling an appointment with him. Gianni had his nerve graft surgery with Dr. Kline in New Orleans. We went back to him for the first post op check-up. We live in New York and the travel is becoming to expensive, so I asked Dr. K...

If you check out Dr. Kline, he has done over 2400 trauma brachial plexus surgeries. He wrote the book that others learn by, literally.
