Re: Seattle, WA Success Story

[Guest guest]

That's wonderful that your son is doing so well! It is also good to

hear the docs at Swedish use the Ponseti method... as far as I know,

there's only one " official " Ponseti doc in Seattle who treats

patients at Children's Hospital. I've always been curious about

those treated at Swedish - I've heard good things about their ortho

group.

I'm in Seattle - we go to Children's and after a rocky start, things

are going great for us as well.

Welcome!
