dr frick questions re surgery + email

[Guest guest]

Does anyone have Dr fricks email addy? I did have it but lost it!

Also I'm wondering if anyone on this board has a child treated by Dr

Frick with surgery? He has recommended posterior release for

Grace. She has very tight achilles in one foot which has cause

rockerbottom and tons of other probs. I am just curious if he would

be a good choice to perform the surgery or would someone else? As

far as surgery goes what is the least invasive? I will ask him if

there is not a lease invasive choice but am just curious if anyone

else has a child that required surgery after 3 years of age. We

were diligent with wearing DBB and her forefoot is not relapsing

whatsoever. Her heels never dropped and it is Dr Fricks feeling

that is the cause of the rockerbottom. Isn't there another surgery

that could just lengthen the achilles or is it too late for that?

Mainly the right foot is affected by Dr Frick said I may want to go

ahead and have both feet done. I will be asking Dr Frick all of

these questions. He told me to mull it over and let him know when I

wanted to schedule for surgery. I wanted to just get through

Christmas and another appointment Grace had so I guess it is now

time to schedule. I am very nervous because Grace has other issues

that no one has been able to pinpoint or put a name to. I am so

afraid that having the surgery may make the existign problems worse

not better. I am very hopeful though that the tight achilles and

rocker bottom are the causes of her problems and that maybe it is

not too late for her to improve at least somewhat. Her right side

is just extremely weak because she had one tenetomy performed WAY

too early before he clubfoot was corrected and so then she needed a

second one done less than 2 months later. Well sorry to ramble

about all of my concerns. If anyone can think of any questions that

I should ask Dr Frick feel free to let me know because I always

forget to ask something! Also his email address is needed and any

experience with him as a surgeon? Thanks so much,

Feel free to email me at boothejennifer@... if you would

rather.

Hi ,

Dr. Frick's email is _steven.frick@..._

(mailto:steven.frick@...)

I don't have any surgical experience with him (or any other ortho) but I do

believe that he will do whatever he can to avoid surgery if possible. I

completely trust him and his opinion. If Kaitlin had to have surgery, I would

not

hesitate to let him perform it on her.

Good Luck,

Freeman
