Kate We used Cranial Solutions

[Guest guest]

Hi Kate,

I just wanted to chime in because we used Kirk Luyck from Cranial

Solutions, but in NJ. I know he does work out of PA several days a week. I was

very happy with him and his work. He is very professional, but extremely caring,

sweet and down to Earth too. I dealt with him for the initial consult through

graduation. We saw great improvement- from 14mm to about 2mm. My daughter

started her band at about 6.5 months and wore it full time for about 10 weeks.

She had no problems what so ever even though she does have sensitive skin

usually. Kirk was great when I called him for various questions. The only bad

thing I can think of is that you have to do the insurance stuff yourself, but

from what I read he will charge you out of pocket a good portion less than other

paid at CT (1700-1900), but will give you the money back if you are able to get

insurance to pay- the process I am still in now. BUt he is a big help with that

too- he will send in paper work

and stuff- but you really have to keep on top of the insurance stuff. If you

would like to talk to me personally email me and I would be happy to give you my

phone number if you have more specific questions about cranial solutions.
