I am a widowed pianist...my only source of income. How do I find a surgeon?mMy current team is at a Large Chicago area. Highly recommended general surgeon and a plastic surgeon on call.Do I need a nerve specialist. Is there such a thing? Thank you.
Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would explain that there are a lot of neurosurgeons specialized in nerve surgery. You should know that this is an important part of neurosurgery, specialized in the peripheral nervous system. Nerves are very delicate, and it is necessary consulting with a specialist of this field in order to discuss the best treatment options (especially considering your profession). Hope you will find this answer helpful! Kind regards,
