Profile For Shannon W.

Shannon, who is telling him no? You'll have to find one of the types of doctors they require in your area, make an appointment and have them sign the forms which are in the packet for the SPE certificate. It's a pain in the butt but can be done. I have one for a hand injury sustained 6 years ago and just did my renewal last year.

We've been to 5-6 different orthopedic surgeons to try & get the SPE certificate completed. The packet advises that only a board certified or board qualified orthopedic surgeon or doctor of physical medicine can complete the section. My boyfriend had surgery after his motorcycle accident which resulted in a brachial plexus injury and he currently has not function in his left arm. A plastic surgeon performed his surgery, but she can not complete the packet. Multiple qualified doctors are saying they didn't do the surgery, nor do they deal with this type of injury. We're kind of stuck and wondering if the FMSCA in GA has a waiver for the plastic surgeon or an exemption of some kind. Any tips or previous experience would help. Thanks for commenting.

So my boyfriend has been trying to get his spe certificate done for almost a year now. Did you have luck finding a doctor? What did you do? We keep getting told no

I've been trying to get my spe certificate for a year now. I was born with a birth defect to my left hand and I must get a board certified orthopedic or licensed physiatrist to sign the papers. Can anyone tell me where to go to get them signed?
