Guest guest Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Our doctor faxed the paper work to Hanger and then told me to call Hanger and make an appointment. We have alread had a consult with Hanger and they said it would be one week from the time they scan until they get the helmet but we are in Arizona and they make the helmets in Arizona. I would call - I have found that sometimes paperwork gets lost or not touched right away and you have to take over making sure you get appointments booked. -Chandra > > > > does anyone know anything about the hanger prosthetics & orthotics or > > the hanger cranial band, like how long does it take to have a helment > > or band made be them and how long did it take before someone from > > hanger called you for a appt. my babys docter seen her on 2/12/08 & i > > tought i would have heard something by now from hanger but i haven't > > and i would like to get the ball rolling if you know want i mean shes > > going on 7 month & i know the earler the better ,i just would like to > > know what others went thourgh thank and if some of the speeling is > > wrong i'm sorry > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Did the dr write a prescription? If so, are you going to Hanger because that is who is in your area, who your dr said to go to or another reason? I ask because there are several options for bands - obviously if Hanger is the only provider in your area and traveling is not an option - then the choice has been made. :-) That all being said, if you have a prescription then call Hanger yourself. That is what I did. I calles and made the appt with them. After the eval and scan for the band it came in in about 1 week. We used hanger too so if you have any questions feel free to ask! Hope that helps!

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 We're working with Hangar in Seattle ( Weber). We were referred there and I just called to make an appointment. The turn around from measurements to band was 10 days. You might consider just calling the clinic directly. daughter 5/20/07, torticollis, Starband started 2/13/08 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Hello. My daughter wore a Hanger band. Usually from the time when they do the cast or the scanning for the band, it's usually about 10-14 days until the band is done.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 my son had a Hanger helmet, wore it from 6 to 9 mos His head looks great now , it fixed his forehead bossing, his skull base asymetry, improved his ear alignment, and of course the whole flat side. we are very pleased! and we had no problems with the helmet. I think the orthotist makes alot of differnece so find out if yours is experienced. Hanger did a great job for us! le 10 mos Hanger grad > > Hi, > > my 4.5 month old son is about to start treatment with Hanger.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 We used Hanger and have been very happy with our results-In 3 weeks she went from 13mm to 10mm-after almost 5 months we are down to 2mm-her head looks great. Its been on longer than we expected because her head has not grown a whole bunch. I agree the offices are a bit run down and need some renovations but the orthotist is very nice and knowledgeable(shes been doing this about 5 years) and its the closest to our house so it works for us. > > Hi, > > my 4.5 month old son is about to start treatment with Hanger.
