Re: Dr. Mack in Springfield

It's true did most of the casting in our case and I always worried that

he might not do it as well as Dr. Mack, but 's feet are perfect! I don't

think

Dr. Mack would let do the casting if he didn't have total confidence in

him. But you could always talk to Dr. Mack about it when you meet him in a

few weeks. I understand your concern and admit I had the same concern

when I started going there, but as I said did a great job. He really is

Dr. Mack's right hand man and seems as knowledgeable as Dr. Mack. Also,

isn't a doctor, he's Dr. Mack's assistant, so he works totally under Dr.

Mack's directions. I'm sure if he ran into a problem or if your case was more

difficult, that Dr. Mack would take over.

Good luck and let me know what you decide. I certainly won't be offended if

you choose another doctor. I know what it's like to be distrustful of doctors.

Dr. Dobbs in St. Louis leaves the casting mostly to his nurse. He holds

the feet and starts the cast but the nurse always finishes it. Just a

thought. Hope your treatment goes well.

Holding the foot is the most important part. Dr. Ponseti holds the foot while a

nurse wraps the plaster, then he molds the wet plaster to the foot as he wants

it.
