Yes - they are both brilliant hand surgeons, the very best.

My other half has severe osteo in both thumbs and then had his right hand seize up with trigger finger. She has made the osteo bearable and the trigger finger problem is gone. I also had trigger in my right thumb and first finger and she did both of those for me with a shot - wow, that hurts, but it works and I'll do anything to avoid surgery and so will the doctor. Surgery is last resort.

Very difficult to get an appointment with these doctors, have your own personal physician make your appointment for you, or wait weeks or even months.

Good luck.
Curious about your husband's osteo repair - was it with surgery or cortisone shots or both? I agree those shots hurt like the devil, but if they work they give wonderful relief. Shots aren't working for me anymore.
