How likely are you to recommend Dr. Cole?
I suffered, or at least experienced, atrophy in my pinky and ring finger in my left hand for several years, and diagnosis eluded three GPs and two specialists. Finally, Dr. Swinarksa, a neurologist at UNM, made the correct diagnosis, which was cervical myelopathy, meaning that my spine had destroyed some nerve function towards my left hand.
