Good garment fitters in NYC & central/northern NJ?

KS1

After 9 months and many (10?) attempts, my hospital-based LE therapist finally fitted me with gloves, and I no longer have to bandage 24/7. (I have 3 different gloves that I wear for different activities.)  I just learned that the hospital will not longer allow their LE therapists to fit garments.

 Does anyone have recommendations for good garment fitters in the NYC & centeral/northern NJ area? I've got other hand issues (neuropathy & vascular insufficiency), and so prefer someone who is also a LE therapist, but that is not a deal breaker.  I am also willing to switch LE therapists if necessary.  

If you have any suggestions on who to go to (or avoid), please PM me or post, because I REALLY don't want to go back to 24/7 bandaging.  KS1

Don't know anyone but I want to pass the chocolate around for the gloves that finally fit!

Thanks for the chocolate, Hugz4u

Maybe the LE goddesses have decided to smile on me.  I found a LE clinic that 1) is in network, 2) isn't ridiculously overbooked, 3) the LE therapists measure for garments, and 4) is much closer than the one I have been going to.  The therapist I spoke to said all of the right things (CDT, MLD, myofascial release, etc) and is experienced, so I made an appointment at the clinic (alas, not with her).  Hopefully the person I see is similar. 

Having finally to the point with my old LE that she was able to order garments that were pretty successful, I don't like having to start from scratch with someone new, but who knows, maybe this person will be even better.  KS1

Me again ... Has anyone heard anything about either the Wyatt Rehabilitation - Physical Therapy & Lymphedema (formerly called the Norton Clinic, in West Long Branch NJ) or St. Peter's Hospital lymphedema clinic (in New Brunswick NJ)?

I like Falk for fitting. 1st & 64th. They seem so disorganized sometimes, but they have a good selection and fit well.
