Hi DR1, I could use your help. The 7 year old daughter of my friends girlfriend is in need of congenital hand surgery. Her 3 middle fingers are joined together and if in the states it is an easy operation. I have connections at Mass General Hospital but it will be all but impossible to get the girl to the states. I have done research on plastic surgery in the DR but it has all been for breast, stomack and face. I guess that is where the money is at. I would imagine that the best place to go would be Santo Domingo. I found a place called Centro de Bellas Artes in SD but am wondering if anyone might know of a place in Santiago. Was also wondering if the mother walked in with an ex-pat american if he would jack the price up?
Since the girl is 7 it is important that this gets done ASAP for it should of been done as an infant. I have contacted many US project save the children services but the DR seems low on their list. The girl is in Sosua so Santiago would be a better place for the surgery and follow up rehab. Thanks, Jim
