Re: Other Dr.s in Northern CA

[Guest guest]

,

There are quite a few families on this board who use Dr. Colburn,

and he comes very highly recommended by Dr. Ponseti. Dr. C was one

of the original doctors on Dr. Ponseti's qualified physicians list

and has many years of experience with the method.

Although I don't have personal experience with him, from all that

I've read about him over the past 5+ years, your daughter will be in

excellent hands.

It sounds like he's got an excellent personality and bedside manner

as well.

Please keep us posted!

is is in the best of hands with Dr Colburn. He is a wonderful doctor.

We live on the North Coast of CA (Eureka/Arcata area) and our son, Jonah, is

treated by Drs Boakes and Lerman at the Shriner's Hospital in Sacramento. I

don't know of any clubfoot support groups in the SF Bay area. If I lived any

closer, I'd start one up. Dr Colburn's office may keep a list of patients who

are interested in meeting up with other families. I do know that a number of

his local patients (people travel from all over the state to have him treat

their children) are members here, so hopefully some will chime in.

We wish you much success!

Hi -

I live in Southern California and have traveled for 3 1/2 years up

North to see Dr. Colburn for my son's unilateral club foot. He is

fabulous and follows the Ponseti Method to a " T " . Dr. P used to

come out to see Dr. Colburn's patients once a year and then we would

get a meeting room and all meet after the appt. However, Dr. P said

this year he wouldn't be doing that kind of travel anymore. I

always post on the board here before my appt to see if anyone else

has an appt on the same day and try and meet people that way. You're

child is in good hands with Dr. C!
