Re: Going back to our local doctor

Carol,

Quite simply, you tell your doctor that you had the awesome

opportunity to take to go see Dr. Ponseti, and you jumped at

the chance because as a mother, you felt that you had to for peace

of mind. The doctor shouldn't be offended at all. If the doctor is

offended, then it's time to get another doctor. Doctors want the

best for their kids (if they have any) also; so they should

understand why a parent wouldn't turn down the opportunity to see

Dr. P. After all, I'm pretty confident that he probably has the

most personal clubfoot experience of any doctor in the world...plus

the experience of his partners at the U of I added to that....you

really can't find another location in the world with more expertise

and focus on the clubfoot condition.

Don't feel like you did anything wrong. Get it in your mind that

you are excited to share this news with your doctor about the

opportunity given to .....

It worked for me when I went back to my old doctor, I hope it helps

you too.
