Coletta “Mickey” Coles was left with nerve damage after a bad fall, resulting in loss of functionality in her hand. She went to see Dr. Elkwood, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon at The Institute for Advanced Reconstruction. Dr. Elkwood performed brachial plexus reconstruction. Coletta is back doing the things she used to do, including simple activities we call take for granted, such as typing and opening doors.

A bad car accident left Sal injured and out of work. With no hope that he’d regain function in his arm, Sal met with Dr. Elkwood, who helped Sal get back to living as he used to.

Jeannine Sico tells her story about facing two distinct, yet equally debilitating, health challenges: MRSA and breast cancer. With Dr. Elkwood’s help, Jeannine is back doing what she loves.
