Connor's appointment..now which provider to use!

[Guest guest]

Well Connor went back to the doctor this evening, and we did walk out

with a script for a helmet..at 7 months I'm glad this finally happened,

though now that it's a reality I'm getting very anxious. The doc

agreed that the ear assymetry will not improve at this point even with

agressive repo. I live in PA (in the Lehigh Valley) and it was

suggested we go with Jack Gold Surgical as a provider. Now the

literature from them he gave me mentions Cranial Solutions..anyone know

if they are good? I assume this is different from Cranial Tech that I

hear so much about on here. Now I'm just torn which provider to use.

Our PT for his torticollis suggested Boas Surgical and our doc really

wasn't familiar with them, and pics of their helmet looks a lot like

the Hanger or Starband..

So I want to get moving on this asap but the doc said patients have had

great results from the one he recomended?

Anyone from this area familiar with these providers?

Thanks!

Hi Kate,

I'm glad you got the script. I would check out the ortho very well. I

looked at their web site and they don't mention plagio or banding at

all, so it might not be a very big part of their practice. There are

at least 3 starband providers in PA

(http://orthomerica.com/technology/scan_locations.htm) you may want to

see if one of them would work. I don't know how good they are either,

but at least they have a starscanner, so banding might be more of a

focus for them.

We were living in CA when we banded, so I don't have any first hand

experience for you. Let us know how things go.
