Dr. Ponseti vs. another Ponseti trained doc.

[Guest guest]

We have the opportunity to go down and have Dr. Ponseti do the

treatment for our little girl once she has arrived. It's about 6 hours

from home and my husband wouldn't be able to come for much. Insurance

will only cover as out of network so it'll cost us about $4-6,000 more

for him to do the treatment.

Our other option is most likely Gilette Children's in the Twin Cities.

They have 3 Ponseti approved doctors there and I'm sure they are very

good. We will meet with them in August.

I'm just wondering others experiences and whether or not you thought

the trip and additional expense was worth it.

TIA!

If you have the time and the mean to go to Iowa, there's noone better than the

man himself. However, if it would be a huge hassle, go to the Ponseti approved

guys and if you don't get the results you want, go to Ponseti then. You have

time to find out if the DRs nearer to you will be ok. We traveled from Ga tot

Iowa and paid out-of-network expences. In our case, it so, so very worth it.

We take our son to Gillette in St. and had a wonderful

experience.
