we got our first appointment

[Guest guest]

I am happy to say that we got our first appointment on the 8th. We are

still in the middle of appealing the insurance. Sooo until we win that

i will be paying out of our pocket. But my little man is well worth it.

But like I always do I have some question; What should I expect on our

first visit? How well does the band work at 8 months of age? And any

questions I should ask the doctor?

Thank you,

Mother to " Boog " (Bradley)

/Bradley,

My son Tyler now nine months has had his band(Starband light AKA

Starlight band) 2 1/2 weeks now. My wife and I are overjoyed with the

results so far. We also are paying out of pocket. Worth every

penny. What kind of band is Bradley getting? Starband,DOC,

Other...?? Make sure and ask your ortho. I think DOC Bands still

take castings of the head to construct the band where Starband uses

the Star Scanner.

Good Luck

/Tyler,

It is great to know that the results are turning out good Tyler. It makes me very happy to know that Bradley with still get good results. We are going to be getting the Starband. Which type of Starband light does Tylyer have? Side open band, Bivalaved, or cap?? Yes they will be using the star scanner on "Boog". Which is one of the main reason I choose the office we are going to. Just out of curiousity if you dont mind me asking how have are you guys going to have to or have you paid for Tylers band? The office we are going to said that they would give us a price on our first visit because they base it on the severity. But I just wanted to kinda get a around about total.

I believe the Doc Cranial Offices are all moving to using the scanner during the next year. No more casting for new babies. I dont know however how long it will take to get this equiptment in all the offices. I think it will make the process easier but dont chose a facility based on the casting, it was not such a big deal.

good luck, I am sure whatever choice you are making has been well researched by you and being able to afford it is always important. Mabye insurance will cover a bit of it if not all. Mine is saying 50 percent but I will be fighting them for 80 as others have received. I paid cash at the start and then am hoping for the reinbursement to all work out. Good luck and keep us posted.
