    I live in Phoenix, Arizona and would like to have NA done on my right hand.
    Since Dr. Ryan Grabow is in Las Vegas ,which is fairly close, and covered under my insurance, I had thought of going to his clinic for NA.
    Has anyone been a patient of his?
    I notice that he recently trained with Dr. Eaton in Florida in 2008, so hasn't been doing NA for a long time. Does this matter?

    Or is it worth the trip to San Francisco to see Dr. Denkler or Idaho to see Dr. Kline?

    Any comments would be welcome.
    After having 2 bent fingers for several years, I just discovered this website and NA, so am excited by the prospects of straight fingers.

    i'm in Taos, NM.

    I saw Dr Grabow on 4/30 and 5/1. He performed NA on both hands. He and his staff are very professional yet friendly and helpful. Four days later I am playing piano better than I have for the past two years and am now inspired to practice as part of my PT.

    Thanks for the reminder Brian. I have a splint for each hand, putting on the second is a bit tricky. Dr. Grabow sent me to a PT immediately after the second surgery. They made custom splints for each hand, gave me a list of useful stretches, and a nifty spring loaded finger splint to use during the day to help extend my pip joints.

    I should be able to stop using the splints after about three months.

    Thanks so much for the feedback about Dr. Grabow. Gives me confidence and also thanks for the information about the splints so I know what to ask for ....I can't believe I have put up with this for the last 5 years believing the hand surgeon who told me nothing could be done!!! He even had it himself although not very severe.
