Dr. van Bosse consultation

[Guest guest]

Thanks to everyone who responded to my post about question for

propective doctors. As it happened, we got such a good explanation

that I didn't really need them. We got to the clubfoot clinic at 12:30

and put our name on the list. It seems to be a first come, first

served sort of situation. At 2:30 or so, they finally called us back.

Dr. van Bosse sat down and explained what exactly clubfoot is, how is

used to be corrected and how it is corrected now. He was very

personable, I thought and I really appreciated that he didn't rush us

through the consultation. Most of what he said I already knew, either

from my own experience or my research, but I felt assured that they

follow the Ponseti method completely. He introduced us to Dr. Lehman

and two sets of parents and kids. One was an infant that was having

his second set of casts applied (amazing the difference already!) and

the other was a one year-old who was just starting to walk. You

absolutely couldn't tell there had ever been anything wrong.

All in all, it was a good experience. Very reassuring, especially for

my husband who has no experience with any of this.
