RE: Dr. Mack - Shriners Springfield, MA

[Guest guest]

We see Dr. Mack also. He is very good and so is his assistant,

. They follow the Ponseti method and have done wonders with

's feet after 10 months with a non-Ponseti doctor. I trust Dr.

Mack and Dr. Ponseti knows him.

Be prepared to wait though. They have a lot of patients and they're

always behind schedule. We usually wait 45 minutes in the waiting

room, which is chock full of fun things for children to do, and then

another 20-30 minutes once we get to the examining room.

Thanks for the info and the heads up about waiting. We just got

back from our Dr. here in CT and we were there 2 1/2 hours so I know

about waiting!!

We see Dr. Mack. I think he is great. is 3.5 and had all the casting,

2 tentonomies, and DBB.

He now might be having a relapse and might have to have a tendon transfer.

The staff at Shriner's hospital in Springfield is awsome. I can't say enough

good things about them. They are very supportive, knowledgeable and caring.

Dr. Mack is very nice and easy to talk to about your concerns. he would

take the time to answer all my questions and would discuss options. I would

highly recommend him.

Good luck at your appointment,

and
