Re: Ponsetti method in Toronto or Ottawa?

[Guest guest]

Hello, ,

Welcome to the group and congratulations on your baby!

Dr. son has been a wonderful resource to our group here

in years past (she would occasionally post) and though she did not

treat my child, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her based on

correspondance that I've had with her. You could contact her via

email and ask if she knows of any doctors that she would personally

recommend who are closer to you (if distance is the issue) in

Ontario. I would be willing to bet that she has the most experience

treating clubfoot with the Ponseti method of all the doctors in your

province though.

Keep us posted on what you decide to do!

Regards,

Method at Sick Kids in Toronto. I don't remember if it was posted

here or over at the Clubfoot Canada site

(http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/clubfootcanada/) but hopefully

that person will chime in here soon!

Welcome to the board, !

We are in Montreal and underwent some treatment with Dr. son. She is

very good and follows the Ponseti protocol. Dr. Tim Carey in London would

be another excellent choice. Dr. Pirani in Vancouver (co-head of the Uganda

Clubfoot Project) could be arguably the best in Canada or is at least the

one with the most experience and his patients love him.

It's great that you are gathering more information. You can find a small

group of Canadians at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/clubfootcanada/ . Most

of them also post here. One of the parents on that board () is taking

his son to Sick Kids in TO and has had a great experience so far. They

appear to be doing the protocol to the T, but they do have the cast techs

doing the manipulation and casting.

Any more questions just ask or email us directly!

Emma 18-10-99. Montreal, Canada

moderately severe bilateral clubfoot

3 months unsuccessful local non-Ponseti casting pending surgery

corrected by Dr. Ponseti with 3 casts & tenotomy

out of FAB too early, just before 2 yrs old (loose ligaments)

relapse, ATTT at 4 years old, doing great.

Ponsetti method in Toronto or Ottawa?

Hi,

I just found out about a week ago at the 19wk ultrasound that our

child will have bilateral CF. I live in the province of Ontario in

Canada and have been researching the Ponsetti method. I note from

Dr. Ponsetti's website that Dr. son in Kingston,

Ontario is recommended as a Ponsetti practitioner. Does anyone else

have any information about the availability of the Ponsetti method

in Ottawa or Toronto? Any tips would be greatly appreciated, as I am

really in the process of gathering as much information as possible

right now.

Thanks!

I myself am from ontario and my son sees Dr son in Kingston. It is

a 3 hour drive one way for me but she is great and it is well worth the long

day. Best of luck finding a doctor.
