Default Carpal tunnel doctor

Has anyone gone to Dr. John Cowin or Dr. Andrew Huntt for wrist problems? Or can you recommend someone else? I've got a bad wrist that needs to be looked at. Thanks.

I was just found out that I have carpal tunnel and I saw Dr. Rubin. He is in Ocala but does have an office in Summerfield.

I am going to Dr. Gloria Chin and have carpal tunnel surgery scheduled for Sept 28". Dr. Chin is in practice with Dr. Cynthia Harding. Both have come with high references.

Braces for corpal tunnel are available in most drug stores. If this is your problem you might want to get one and try it for a week or so. Be sure to read the instruction on the brace as they are left and right handed and small, medium and large. My doctor just sent me to the drug store. No prescription is required.

I had never thought of going to a plastic surgeon. I have the brace and use it way too often so feel it is time to see a dr. It is getting so it hurts too much to play golf, exercise, and so many other things. Thanks everyone!

Most hand surgery is actually done by a plastic surgeon and in some areas its all done by Plastic surgeons. We are talking hand surgery above the wrist to include the fingers.

Both Cowin and Hunt are excellent surgeons.
