Re: and other Chicago area mothers

CT has a great reputation, but you'll still need a prescription. CT

can send the info to your ped, and hopefully they'll write the script.

I know others have seen Dr V. but I'm not in that area. You might want

to search the old messages for his name (go to the groups webpage to

search if you normally read email online).

We went to CT in Oakbrook. They were nice, but I wasn't really

thrilled. I am trying to get re-measurements done for dd, and I may

try Glenview. Are you in the city? I think that there may be a

starband facility at children's in lincoln park - thought i'm not sure.

We saw Dr. Vicari for my dd. He was very nice and matter of fact. DD

is 13 mm. She has had her Starband for almost 2 weeks and I already

see a noticeable improvement. All adjustment appts. are through

Childrens. Can go to the Glenbrook location, Westchester or 2515 N.

. I dont have any experience with CT but I do know that Dr.

Vicari is one of if not the leading doctor in his field.

Did anyone read the article on the front page of Sunday's Tribune re:

plagiocephaly? Dr. Vicari was interviewed.

We went through Oakbrook, my son has been wearing his DocBand for 3

weeks now. I am not going to lie the first few nights were awful, he

had a tough time sleeping. But once we got through those nights it has

been smooth sailing so far. My son was 6.5 months old once he got his

band andI wish we would have gotten it sooner. If you are wanting a

2nd opinion for piece of mind, then go for it! Otherwise the sooner

you get your daughter banded the less time she will wear it. I truly

wish we would have done it sooner, but our pediatrician kept putting us

off:(

We trusted CT's opinion and didn't go elsewhere but like said

if you want a 2nd opinion, go for it! From the pics (although hard

to tell), I would band. Good luck in your decision.

PS: We had a great experience with CT. Our son had a hard time

sleeping the first 2 nights also but by the 3rd night he was back to

sleeping through. My son was 7.5 months when he was banded.
