Guest guest Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 I know everyone contacts Dr. Ponseti but isn't there like a 2nd option, a Plan B like Dobbs? Does he do email consultation? s. emailing Dr. Ponseti I was just wondering how long it took Dr. Ponseti to get back to anyone who has emailed him. I emailed him and he hasn't repiled back to me yet. I am getting scared that I am taking to long to make a decision on my son. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 You know I hate hate Hate to even say/think this but Dr. Ponseti is not a young man and he will not be with us forever, I wonder whom all these new parents will be able to contact in the future as well. Does anyone know if he has thought about this and if he has anyone in mind? & Grace > > I know everyone contacts Dr. Ponseti but isn't there like a 2nd option, a Plan B like Dobbs?

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Dr. Morcuende seemed very prompt in responding when I emailed him a couple of weeks ago (like a few minutes prompt!). I would say he would be an excellent choice to email for consultation (he is Dr. Ponseti's Colleague in Iowa) and that we could confidently refer parents/caregivers to him. At minimum, he would be a good person to cc when emailing Dr. Ponseti. Dr. P. gets a TON of email and at times he can be backed up in responding but he will respond to every parent who emails. There is time to make this decision, waiting for his response will not affect your child's treatment at all so please do not rush into anything until you hear from Iowa. But do email Dr. Morcuende, he can certainly help. Dr. Morcuende's email is: jose-morcuende@...

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Dr. Morcuende consulted on 's feet when we were there to see Dr. Ponseti. He was incredibly knowledgable and I got the impression that Dr. Ponseti might be training him to take over for him some day. I could be wrong about that, but it seemed that way. If Dr. Ponseti is not available in the future and I need help with , it will be Dr. Morcuende whom I contact. He is a very nice man, too, just like Dr. Ponseti.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 I've met him in Iowa too and agree with everyone else about how good and nice he is. s. If Dr. Ponseti is not available in the future and I need help with , it will be Dr. Morcuende whom I contact. He is a very nice man, too, just like Dr. Ponseti.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 I would assume Dr. Morcuende. He is really his " right hand man " , I believe he does all of the tenotomies for Dr. P's patients now, doesn't he? Dr. M is the one who organizes the annual symposium they do in October as well. I would think between the U of I team of Morcuende, Dietz and Weinstein, and Dobbs in St. Louis they should be able to handle all the new parents. I know Dr. Dobbs consults with parents all over the country (and the world for that matter) via email even now. Plus, hopefully by that time (God willing, a long time from now), the method will be being done properly in a more widespread way. > > > > I know everyone contacts Dr. Ponseti but isn't there like a 2nd > option, a Plan B like Dobbs?

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 I think he would be happy to help anyone, whether they are his patient or not. allison > > > > I know everyone contacts Dr. Ponseti but isn't there like a 2nd > option, a Plan B like Dobbs?
