Question for Mya, Choosing a surgeon
(4 discussions)
I am looking for a good orthopedic surgeon im my area of the country who has some experience dealing with the extra complications of post-polio patients.
Where would you suggest I start the search. I have asked my primary-care physician and my previous physical therapist with not much luck. Any ideas would be most welcome.
Thanks, Linda

This is so weird because I was just looking at a sight from a PT who is big into post polio rehab and I think she might be able to guide you in the right direction. Her sight is http://gbppa.org/linda7.htm If you have trouble finding it let me know. Good luck. Mya

I tried that address but couldnt get to her. I found the Greater Boston Post-polio Assoc. which had a section containing answers to post-polio questions by Linda Wobeskya, but there is no address to submit my questions to. Perhaps you could send her my email address and request contact?
