Guest guest Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 I completely agree as well. I had searched many different orthotists in the New York area and it was very difficult to find an orthotist that I felt comfortable with, and was able to explain everything straight up. I eventually found Kidi Splint, and it just clicked. You just have to find someone that is caring, informative, and experienced. After that it was just so easy. Of course, the fact that she had her own child banded, made it a really easy way of relating to how I experienced the procedure. It is just a matter of finding that one orthotist that you can really connect to, don't settle for anything less!
