Guest guest Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Jenn, I am so happy for you! I cried and cried when I read about your conversation with him...I felt like the " hand of God " had touched us just when he emailed me...I can't imagine speaking with him! Good luck, Jenn. I have to live vicariously through you right now, so let me know how it went after your appointment!!! =-) > > > > Hey everyone! I spoke with Dr. Ponseti and we're going there on > the > > 30th.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Jenn, Congratulations. Stories like these bring tears to my eyes. After working a non-Ponseti doctor for six months who did nothing but hurt my son when he casted him, it was such a relief to find out about Dr. Ponseti. My husband was skeptical at first, but he's now a Ponseti convert and tells everyone he meets about it. I spoke with Dr. Ponseti on the phone twice and he is such an angel and so reassuring. Good luck to you. and 11/10/03 bilateral cf dbb 14/7 > > Hey everyone! I spoke with Dr. Ponseti and we're going there on the > 30th. He's absolutely great. I love his accent.
