Well, now that auditions are over, as soon as concert obligations are passed, you might want to get it done ASAP. I know that several medical centers have physical therapists and physiatrists (MD in physical therapy) who specialize in this as well. They would oversee a surgical recovery in a much more understanding fashion.

As for time to recover, my D had her impacted wisdom teeth out the day after her last HS concert and 3 weeks before her summer festival began. They told her to lay off for at least a week…she was playing, bleeding 4 days later at HS graduation. Couldn’t keep her away. It is amazing once they do get back though, how quickly they can play well again. They play through the pain, although I think that hurt me as much as her. Does he have summer commitments? It would be a good time for making lots of reeds!
