Hi, I have an orthopedic hand specialist doctor.
I was never talking about that doctor or his services.
I was only specifically talking about Occupational therapy, in the category of hand therapy. My dermatologist told me there are two categories (in Occupational Therapy): hand therapists & hand specialists (also therapists). I need an occupational therapist who is a hand specialist, not just a hand therapist. They are both therapists, not hand doctors (like my orthopedic hand specialist doctor).
Thanks🙏🏻

Thanks @suezq. I didn’t know there were 2 types of occupational therapists. Good to know. I will ask an occupational therapist who wants to get certification for hand therapy.
