21 week ultrasound shows fetus with clubfoot -- need doctor info

[Guest guest]

Hi Larry,

Congratulations on your soon to be new arrival! We also live in North

Jersey (Bergen County) but I go to Baltimore to see Dr. Herzenberg. I know

that there are some people on here that see Dr. Scher (I believe) in New

York City. Unfortunately, there are no Ponseti " Certified " doctors in the

area.

Keep us posted. Good Luck

21 week ultrasound shows fetus with clubfoot

-- need doctor info

My wife is 22 weeks pregnant and the ultrasound showed that the baby

has a clubfoot. The ultrasound showed no other abnormalities. We

live in Northern New Jersey, and have begun to search for a pediatric

orthopedist, as I begin my research into clubfoot treatment. We would

prefer to see some one locally in the NY, NJ, CT area, but would

travel anywhere in the U.S, should it be necessary. Any

recommendations? Thanks. Larry.

Larry, Glad to see you found this group. I'm a fairly new user and

have learned a ton from this site. My wife gave birth to a handsome

little boy on May 24th with a club foot. We are undergoing the

Ponsetti treatment and are on our 3rd cast (4th tomorrow). Here is a

link to the Ponsetti website. You can learn all about the Ponsetti

method here as well as locate approved Doctors:

http://www.vh.org/pediatric/patient/orthopaedics/clubfeet/index.html

Here is a link to the " Qualified Physicians " part of the site:

http://www.vh.org/pediatric/patient/orthopaedics/clubfeet/physicians.html

There are plenty of " qualified " physicians in New York City and a

couple in land.

Good luck and be sure to ask any questions you have.

Hi Larry,

Welcome to the clubfoot board...

My son, , who is turning 1 year old this week, was born with bilateral

clubfeet. We live in Kenilworth, NJ. We wanted treated with the Ponseti

method, as it is a non-surgical method, and there were no Ponseti trained

doctors in NJ this time last year. I am not sure if anyone is practicing the

method here yet. We travelled to a doctor in NY. I am thrilled with the results,

as his feet are beautiful now.

I know this can be a scary time for you, so if I can do anything for you, I will

be very happy to do so. If you would like to get together to hear first hand

what the treatment is like, and to meet and see his gorgeous feet, just

let me know. I know what it is like to be in your shoes.

Best of luck,
