Anyone used Dr. Jayukumar? (Alfred I. DuPont Hospital)

May 17, 2005

Has anyone used Dr. Jayukumar (or referred to as Dr. " J " )? He is in

the Alfred I. DuPont Hospital in Wilmington, DE

(http://www.nemours.org/internet?pid=3&cat=1)

He says he used the Ponsetti technique, but did not have a reason as

to why he is not on the list of certified Ponsetti doctors. Any

reason I should be concerned about that?

RUN!!!! I took my son there. After 4 casts he was ready to do surgery. If you

are in the land Delware VA area go to see Dr Herzenberg at Sinai Hospital in

Baltimore. He's TRUE Ponseti trained.!

Just curious if you plan on having them treat your child? Run

away....fast. I have alot to say about DuPont!!!!!!!!!! Worst

treatment for CF! I am sure there are others who would agree. They do

NOT follow the Ponseti Method. 10 castings an a tenotomy and no

correction. They placed my daughter in shoes and said, " well that's

the tricky part, keeping the shoes on " . That is so not the case if

the FEET where CORRECTED in the first place. We saw 3 Doctors in 3

1/2 months. We made the trip to see Dr. Ponseti who corrected her

feet in 4 castings. I hope he learned something from Dr. Ponseti when

he saw him last November! I could really go on about this but I don't

think Yahoo has enough space for me. Why don't you try doing a google

search for clubfoot dupont and see what comes up.

Oh

My

God

I had not seen that website before. Our experience was similar with another

doctor. (though Gwyneth did not have to have a second tenotomy) I read that

website with my jaw dropped. What is wrong with these doctors?!?!? How is it

possible that these doctors are allowed to continue to practice?
