Re: New and looking for advice...

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

welcome to the group. I hope you'll get some feedback on the local Hanger

facility. With Hanger reputations vary widely. Some are good, and others not so

great. Cranial Tech (CT) has a very good reputation and all their staff is well

trained. One difference is that all the CT locations are managed from the

headquarters, so things tend to be more consistent. With Hanger independent

orthos work with hanger to get bands, but Hanger isn't involved with monitoring

treatment etc.

you, I am feaking out and have been reading non-stop here and at other sites

online. Is there any advice you can give me to start this process? We have an

appointment on Friday for a consultation at Hanger. Is this a good company. Is

Cranial Tech. better? There are both in my state (NJ), but Hanger is much

closer, with Cranial being about 2 hours away. I just want to do the best thing

for my daughter. Any words of wisdom are greatly appreciated and most welcome.

Thanks...

Hi ,

I was very ovewhelmed when we found out we had to put our daughter in a helmet.

She has been in one for 3.5 weeks and the change in her head is amazing.

Everyone is comenting on how much better it looks.

Where in NJ are you?

We live in NJ and got a Starband because they were closer to us. We live in

West Orange.

Good Luck it is sooo worth it.

I am in southern Ocean County. Which facility did you go to? Are you happy

there? Any advice and experience you have would be great. Thanks!
