Re: Going back to our local doctor

[Guest guest]

Oh! This thread couldn't have come along at a better time! We've

been struggling for a while now with taking our son to Dr. Ponseti.

The Dr. we're with here at home has been wonderful and caring with

our son and he made a lot of progress initially. So we've struggled

with telling her that we wanted to see Dr. P. We finally set our

minds to it (thanks to everyone on this board who encouraged us!)

and we're seeing Dr. Ponseti on Monday. Flying there on Sat.

Anyway, that's a story for another excited post! I had to call our

Dr. today to get some Xrays to take with us and She and her

assistant are great. So professional. I'm telling you, I made

myself sick over talking to the Dr. about consulting someone else.

I'm a worrier too. I think DH wanted ear plugs every time I brought

up this subject.

Like other posts have said, It's all about what's best for your

child though. We have to make the hard decisions sometimes!

Thanks for this thread. I really needed to read them.

Dear Carol,

I am italian grandfather of Giuseppe. Giuseppe's history is in PHOTOS of

group.

I have same experience with my local doctor who use Ponseti's method. But the

feet of Giuseppe have atipycal clubfoot. I talked directly with my italian

doctor and said my wish to meet Dott. Ponseti. He appreciated my sincerity and

understanded my idea. He liked to know the cure of Doct. Ponseti. I transmited

to my local doctor the exceptional experience with Doct. Ponseti and he

appreciated.

The frankness is the better solution.

Excuse my english.

the only one who has done this and I am nervous about how to approach

this issue with him. I like him a lot but went to Dr. Ponseti because

only he could answer some questions I had about 's feet, which

are atypical in some ways. I would like to think that my doc here

would like to see a Ponseti cast. He has been trained by Dr. Ponseti

so is following the Ponseti method for the most part. Any suggestions

or experiences to share? I will post later about my visit with Dr.

Ponseti. It was a wonderful experience!
