Have been going to occ therapy 2x/week since flexor tendon surgery for injured little finger on nov. 10. am frustrated by lack of progress. at what point should i be seeing noticeable improvement and when should i consider switching occ therapists?

Depends on degree of original deformity. But you should see some progress gradually. If none then see your surgeon otherwise be patient - it will get better gradually
