Guest guest Posted February 8, 2002 Report Share Posted February 8, 2002 Dana, It is quite common for a plagio baby to see a craniofacial specialist. Of course, not all craniofacial specialists work with babies or plagio. You would have to call and see what kind of experience the dr has with babies and plagio and also which ortho he/she works with and what product that ortho uses. Maybe you could post the doctor's name and see if anyone here has any information about him. Marci (Mom to ) Oklahoma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 8, 2002 Report Share Posted February 8, 2002 Dana: Many parents have used craniofacial surgeons for a diagnosis! The doctors listed on that search engine are all plagio-friendly. Hope that helps! Kendra Re: Dana - Charlotte I used the search and there was only one other dotor that was listed that wasn't in Charlotte. He's in Chapel Hill, which is closer, but he is listed as a craniofacial surgeon. Does that mean that is all they deal with, or do those doctors deal with plagio as well? I wish I was more informative. I guess I probably would have to contact them directly to find out.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2002 Report Share Posted February 9, 2002 Hey Dana-if he is listed on the site then more than likely another parent used them for a consult regarding their child's plagio. I saw a pediatric neurosurgeon and a cranial facial specialist when having evaluated-you can see either of them and as long as they're educated in plagio they can lead you in the right direction. This one must be since he is listed on the board -- so that is good. He may even be able to give you other alternatives that are more accessible for you. Try giving them a call and see when they can fit you in-2 consults can't hurt. No question is ever dumb so don't worry about that at all- I never even heard the term cranial facial specialist until I came to this board. Let us know how it goes! beck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
