Re: Advice about emailing Dr Ponseti

[Guest guest]

I called out to Dr. Ponseti's office and spoke to his main secretary,

Joyce. She gave me her direct email address to send pictures. Here's

her email address: joyce-roller@...

Just a note to pass along, Joyce is out of the office until the

Monday after Thansgiving. She will get back with you as soon as she

sees the email. She's very good about that.

Good Luck!

Hi Ciao,

I wouldn't worry too much yet, I'm sure he'll get back to you. I also

e-mailed him almost a week ago and haven't recived a response. He may

just be busy especially if his secretary is on vacation. Also I think

she helps with his e-mails, I do not think he does them on him own

most of the time. I think he dictates to her or someone else what to

say or something like that. Good Luck!
