what would you do?

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone!

My son has LCF and his right foot was a little turned in as well. I

originally wanted to go to the local Shriners because there are 2

Ponsetti certified doctors there. I called and did the application

and they said they would review August 23 (I was due August 25).

Well, that would have been fine but I had placenta previa and the

doctors wanted to schedule a c-section earlier just in case. I called

back Shriners and they said they would not review the application

earlier because of the due date. The perinatologist I was seeing for

the placenta previa recommended a pediatric orthopedic that the

hospital refers everyone to. My husband and I set up a consulatation

and interviewed him, he seemed like he really knew his stuff just not

Ponseti " certified " . Well, little Vinnie came 3 weeks early and we

had him casted the next day...we are on our last cast and no tenotomy

needed. We should be getting the DBB next week. So...here's where I

need your advice...I get back from the orthopedic today and Shriners

has called. I returned the call but now we are playing phone tag. Do

I stay with the doctor we have now or should we go the Shriners

route? I have no doubts the doctor we have now is a good doctor...I

just want to make sure I am doing what's best for my son. So...what

would you do?
