I hear you are headed to see Dr Ponseti-best wishes. I am not

familiar with Dr Loder-we had the choice of 2 docs-Dr Didelot or Dr

Kayes-well they both left this fall(contract dispute is the rumor)

and started their own practice through St s. We have been

most happy with Dr Didelot and still go to the brace shop at Riley

to get david's shoes since we love dan!! I have emailed Dr Ponseti a

couple of times to verify david being fully corrected and Dr Ponseti

has agreed. Best wishes-sorry to hear Mallory is back in a cast!

take care,
