Tyger's mom- You can call Straight Ahead in Cleveland (440-460-0923)and ask if a dr from the Dayton area has written a prescription for a DOC Band. Maybe then you can see the dr. Our ped was very helpful. We never saw a specialist. I can ask her who she recommends to rule out craniosynotosis. I will see her next week at Dane's 15 month appointment. Straight Ahead is open on the weekends, so if you do have to travel up to Cleveland, that should be helpful!

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2002 Report Share Posted December 5, 2002 Tyger's mom- I'm assuming you would go to Cincy. If for some reason you go to Akron, the dr will probably recommend Yanke Bionics for a helmet. I would recommend not using them if that's the case. They are not FDA approved and I haven't heard too many good things about the results. Just wanted to let you know!

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2002 Report Share Posted December 5, 2002 Check with your CT office. They should be able to refer you. & Lea (Docband 11/14/02) --- In Plagiocephaly@y..., " boysmyangels2000 " <shadetyger14@a...> wrote: > The neurosurgeon my Ped.Dr. put me in touch with does not believe in > helmet therapy.................so I called the Mayo Clinic and they > support the importance of early banding.
