Guest guest Posted June 21, 2002 Report Share Posted June 21, 2002 Hi ann, We live way down in southern NJ in Bridgeton, Millville, Vineland area. I too am glad that our CT office is accessible. I feel for anyone who does not have easy access. They (CT) have been a bright light of hope for us. I am also completely impressed with Charlotte and Wanda in that office. I feel we are in very very capable hands. We went to our ped. at 2 mo., 4 mo. we asked to be referred to neuro., were completely halted by the neuro since he said bands are not proven to work (hello!) and ins. companies don't pay for them. Taking his advice, we repositioned to no avail and saw him again at 5 mo. At one yr. I saw an article in a magazine and went to the Cappskids website and was stunned to see the great results from banding. I then was in a mad rush to do something quick ( due to age) and we then went through our ped. to expedite things. I contacted CT, and for the first time felt like someone was getting it right! Maybe I'll run into you in Paramus! We have an appt. next Wed. Good luck to you and ! Ellen ( Mom to Amy, 13 mo., DOC Band for 2 1/2 weeks!)
