Finger/Hand specialist

[jiri]

Anybody has a recommendation for a hand/finger specialist in Seattle area.

 

Last year I developed tendinitis in middle fingers on both hands. It got bad and I ended up receiving cortisone shots. It got better after a few month break but it came back when I started doing finger intensive stuff later last year. I stopped doing these activities and it’s been healing some but very slowly. Especially one finger is not doing well and has felt swollen for long time now and even a mild load on it resets any progress in recovery I’ve made. Things are a bit more complicated because I don’t currently have insurance but that should change soon.

Best if you have insurance. They have a PT group as well as the surgery side. I've had them do evaluations of two injuries. Neither needed surgical intervention, thankfully. Good luck.

+1 for the Seattle Hand Surgery Group. I cut a tendon in my index finger a few years back. Dr. Miyano and the rehab folks did an amazing job of getting it back to 100%. I still marvel at the fact that my finger has full range of motion.
