A great Ponseti Method doctor in Seattle

[Guest guest]

Hi! I have an 18 month old son in the middle of his treatment for a

clubfoot. Although not considered severe, his foot was quite curled

inward. He began castings at 7 days old and had his heel cord cut at

about 8 weeks. We are now to the point of Dennis Brown bar and shoes

for naps and bedtime. As any parent new to something, you do your

research, but clubfoot doesn't really allow you much time to make

decisions. I felt that the sooner we acted the better. I was

extremely fortunate that my son's pediatrician referred me to Dr.

Laurel Saliman with Swedish Pediatric Specialty Care. She has office

hours in Bellevue and Seattle, so that is also very helpful. Dr.

Saliman is very kind and gentle not only with my son, but also the

scared parents that entered her office 18 months ago. She is very

knowledgeable and honest about treating clubfoot with the Ponseti

Method. She continues to attend symposiums and read up on the latest

Ponseti findings. If you have a child with clubfoot, I highly

recommend Dr. Saliman. Go to http://www.swedish.org/homepage.cfm and

use the yellow " Find a Physician " button to find Dr. Saliman's

credentials, location, philosophy, etc. Ponseti is the way to go!

Hey great, we need someone who is true to the method up there! I

think Dr. Saliman was just at the symposium in Iowa!
