PA hand specialist recs

Hi can anyone recommend a specialist in the NEPA, Philly, Allentown area?  I’ve had a dupuytren contracture for over a decade but it’s  finally affecting my climbing.  Thanks in advance!

Since you mentioned Philly area...I have one if Delaware is not too far for you.  Dr. James Patterson, Delaware Orthopedic Specialists.  They have an office in north Wilmington, so not too far from Philly.

I dont know any Drs in your area.
just dropping in to say I had the surgery and Im glad i did. I had mine done in SLC, UT. 

Strangely, the OP and I both climbed in Cedar City, UT long before the onset of Dupuytrens. maybe playing in the remnant dust from nuclear testing caused the contracture.haha

good luck with your procedure

Philly area doc, this guy reconstructed my hand after a table saw accident, did an incredible job. His bio mentions research and treatment of dupuytren contracture.
