Guest guest Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Hi, everybody, My son's pediatrician is recommending a helmet for my almost-5-month old. I want to see a specialist first to get a second opinion (although I agree that my son does have an issue) and am wondering which type of doctor is best to see. In general it seems like most people see a craniofacial surgeon. I have an appointment with the ped's referral tomorrow. This guy is board-certified in orthotics, prosthetics, and pediatrics and specializes in developmental biomechanics, modeling of bones, and re-shaping work with children. He sounds like he could be good, but my only concern is that his focus is not just cranial, but bones in general. I am in Queens, NY and have been reading your discussion about Hanger in Long Island. My ped recommended Ortho Medical Products, also in Long Island. Does anyone know about them? Thanks! Shana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
