My 6 year old DD fell while getting off the top bunk this morning Sad

, and is currently being x-rayed for a possible break/fracture of her left (dominant) hand between the thumb and wrist.

If there is indeed a break or fracture, I need to get her to a pediatric orthopedist who specializes in hand/wrists, preferably in Brooklyn or Manhattan and accessible via mass transit.

If anyone has any recommendations, please let me know ASAP.

TIA!

Try calling ECHO a medical referral. I have been referred to very good doctors by them in the past. Their telephone number is: 718-859-9800. Refuah shelaima!

Davka Pediatric? I was recommended a few times to Dr. Mukund Patel in BP, 49th or 50th and Ft Hamilton, across from the hospital. He is a well-respected hand specialist, with an OT practicce next door, if it's needed. Very soft-spoken, kind & gentle to the kids. My daughter's been there for 2 different fingers and I used him too, & I always see children in the waiting room.
