Re: Markell Shoes and who our treating Dr. is

[Guest guest]

Hi and thanks to the responses regarding Markell shoes. Our son currently needs

a 4 or 4 1/2, or even a 5, for his next visit in a two weeks. If you have shoes

you are willing to part with that have life left (especially the strap) we would

love to have them. Email me at sherriroberti@... and I will be happy to

pay for packaging and postage.

Our treating Dr. is Dr. Colburn who practices out of Kaiser in Walnut Creek and

Pleasanton. He does see clients from outside of Kaiser as we no longer have

Kaiser. He is on Dr. Ponsetti's list and treating babies with clubfeet is his

true specialty and one he is very passionate about. His knowledge and

expertise on this method has made having a surprise clubfoot baby much easier.

I can't say enough wonderful things about him. We will be forever grateful that

he was there for us and that we " fell " into his hands. Especially after reading

about other parents experiences that have been less than ideal.

Joey was casted at one day and has had pretty much a textbook experience. He is

20 months and wears his FAB 12-14 hours per day. I now he will be in the bar to

at least 4 but that's o.k.!!!! His feet are perfect!!!

Thanks and good luck to all.

Sherri,

Dr Colburn is an amazing doctor! How lucky for you that you got to

start treatment with him right away. I know of many families from

all over CA and Nevada who have traveled to see him after receiving

poor treatment elsewhere.

As far as shoes go, your son must be about the same size as mine. He

is just now outgrowing his size 3 Markells. Sorry we can't help you

with that. You should not have any trouble finding a store in the

Bay area to order Markells for you though. I know of several stores

right in SF, I can give you contact information if you need it.

Many parents have had luck getting various insurance companies to pay

for the shoes and bar on appeals and so on. It takes a little

effort, but it usually works out.

Also, if you have a broken strap on your shoes, you can call the

Markell shoe company and they will mail you a new one. Then you can

just take the shoes to a repair shop where they can sew it on for you.

Good luck! We wish you continued success.
