Doctors in San Francisco Bay Area

[Guest guest]

Hi! My baby is due on June 7 and has been diagnosed with bilateral

clubfeet. I haven't posted for awhile because I've been busy, but now

I'm going to start the search in earnest for a Ponsetti doctor. There

are two for Northern California who are on the approved list. The one

closest to me is with Kaiser, an HMO that doesn't see patients outside

of their network, the other one in Sacramento is with Shriner's. I'm

hoping for someone closer than Sacramento if at all possible.

Also for those parents who used Shriner's, were you able to meet your

doctor before the baby was born? How hard is it to get a referral? How

long does it take? What I'm worried about with Shriner's is that it

will take a long time to get to see the doctor after my daughter is

born.

I'd appreciated any help you wonderful parents can provide!

Thanks!
