Re: Experience with Shriner's

[Guest guest]

Liz,

All treatment at Shriner's is free including the shoes and bar and

surgery, etc. If you use Shriner's you won't need to use your

insurance and they pay for everything.

Yes I am pretty sure you have to go to their hospital to qualify. I

have heard really good things about them but not all of them use the

Ponseti method so make sure to ask lots of questions. They will help

with driving expenses and cover all the cost of braces, surgeries, and

doctors ect.

Hi Liz,

I think the child has to be treated at Shriners in order for them to

pay, however when my son went to Phildelphia Shriners they were aware

(and didn't care) that we were also going to another hospital at the

same time, so you really could go to both, in order to have them help

pay. Philadelphia Shriners does not do the ponseti method though, so

we stopped going there all together. Feel free to e-mail me if you

have any questions at chele323232@...
