Dr Janes is an amazing doctor. I was loosing hope with the slow recovery from an ulnar nerve transposition from another surgeon. The surgery left me with significant clawing and limited use of my dominant hand. I sought a specialist and was referred to Dr Janes. She was able to recommend a second surgery to stimulate the nerve and transfer an adjacent nerve. Shortly after, I was on my way to recovery. I learned a lot from the experience. Dr Janes restored my hope and allowed me to start doing the things that I once loved to do. I highly recommend Dr Janes.
