Re: Dobbs brace -anyone in St Louis

[Guest guest]

Kim,

The area where the Orthotics shop is located is in/around Webster

Groves, which is a nice older part of town. This may be a bit harder

for traveling as you would be relying on bus or taxi - there is a big

mall, The Galleria, not too far from there. I wonder if Dave could

meet you at their Hospital location instead? It's at 509 S.

Euclid Ave., Room 335. I work at the Medical Center, in the same

complex with Dr. Dobbs and Dave's office so I could even meet up with

you if you need any help finding the place. This would be so

convenient for traveling as it is right along the Metrolink lightrail

system. You could take the Metrolink from the Airport to the

Hospital, then after your appointment you could hop back on the Metro

and head downtown right to Union Station (shopping and eating), or get

on a shuttle that would take you to Forest Park which has the Zoo,

Science Center, Planetarium, Art Museum & History Museum.

Okay, I just talked to the office here at (needed to call them

anyway to find out if my Sammy's new shoes are in yet), and Tammy

(their receptionist) said that Dave Osterman Jr (the son of the Dave

you were probably going to meet with) is at this location everyday. I

bet if you give them a call at the office (314)361-6789 you can

get them to switch your appointment to this location with Dave Jr. (no

offense to his Dad, but I really like Dave Jr. the best of any of the

people I have worked with in their offices). It would just be soooo

much easier for you since you won't have transportation.

Let me know if I can be of any further assistance to you!
