Hi,

We investigated Pasadena and had our eval there. Benita was our

consultant and we ended up talking with Alissa. Our impression is that

Alissa is the most experienced. Benita was extremely nice and wanted

to help us. The only thing is she said they would a do a band for my

son, when technically they could not.

Best,

Kathy

Hi Kim,

My name is and my son has been in the DOC band for 3 weeks. We go

to cranial technologies in Pasadena. I understand your concerns because

I had the same ones. My first pediatrician recommended it and when I

went there I felt uneasy about the fact that there were only

consultants. Then I changed pediatricians and and my new doctor

recommended the band also. She sent me to Gr Graham at Cedars, I went

for an evaluation and he said the same. I ended up staying with Cranial

Technologies because I have another friend from my baby group that went

there and got the best results. My consultant in Benita. She is sweet

and kind to . My friend had Theta. I have seen her a few times

and for my initial consult. She is great too.

If you need anything I am happy to help. I go every Tuesday for

appointments.

Hope this helps,

fitted for a doc band at cranial technologies today. Has anyone been to

the Cranial Technologies in Pasadena? If so, who was your orthotist and

what was your experience like, was it successful? I also want to know

if members in general went straight from an eval by a pediatrician to

an orthotist, or if members first had their children evaluated by a

specialist for plagio before getting the helmet made. Our pediatrician

referred us to CT, but never referred us to a specialist....I am

concerned about that. I have made appointments with specialists on my

own, but can't get in right away, so I am likely going to get the

helmet made first (any thoughts will be helpful), as I understand time

is of the essence....I welcome any feedback please!!
