Guest guest Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 HI , I think I already posted to you, but heaven knows if it will ever post! gets crazy some days. I am in Grand Rapids. My son was in a STARband, another active band besides the DOCband. There are other STARband facilities located in Michigan, but I cannot tell you where they all are, or if they should be recommended or not. When you get a STARband, or any helmet besides a DOCband, it is critical to establish the experience the orthotist has with banding/helmeting babies. Most sites do NOT require additional training for banding and without experience, you just don't know what you are getting. The closest CT for you is either Chicago or Cleveland. > > > > > > I contacted CT and they said they can get us right in as soon as > > the paperwork is cleared (about a week).
