Re: NEED INFO FOR SACRAMENTO

[Guest guest]

LaRena,

My son is treated at the Shriner's in Sacramento. He is now nearly 3 years old

and doing very well. There are 2 doctors there who are using the Ponseti method

with tremendous success: Dr Lerman (who has gone through the paperwork

involved in getting on Dr Ponseti's list of qualified physicians) and Dr

Boakes (who has not).

When your friend's client calls to make an appointment, she needs to be very

clear that she wants to see one of these doctors. There are doctors there who

are *still not* using the Ponseti method. She can also ask to go through the

" application " process over the phone and this will probably get her an

appointment sooner. Here is the contact information:

Shriners Hospitals for Children

2425 Stockton Blvd.

Sacramento, CA 95817

Tel:

I hope this helps. Please pass along my email address ( powellbugs at yahoo dot

com) if she would like to get in touch with me.

I have a friend who is a doula and

area and there are currently no Ponseti Dr's. here. My son is a

patient of Dr. Colburn. I have been told that there is a Ponseti

method Dr. in the Sacramento area at a Shriners hospital. Does anyone

know if this is true? Is this Dr. any good? any and all help would

be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi LaRena,

You can also call Dr. Lerman and speak to him on the phone first.

When I was searching for Ponseti doctors in northern and southern

California, I called him, left a message with a nurse and he called me

right back. Explain to him what you are looking for and he will

answer all your questions. He's a very nice gentleman.

Good luck!
