PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT GO TO THOSE DOCTORS!!! I live in Delray Beach and I

took to Dr. Rattey when he was a newborn and she does not follow the

Ponseti Method and she wanted to do surgery on him when he was 8 weeks old. Dr.

Baynham is a great guy but also doesn't follow the Ponseti Method. The only Dr.

in S. Florida who does follow it is Romano in Plantation. I took to

him and things were going great until about a month ago when he started to

relapse and Dr. Romano recommended surgery. I then got on a plane and took

to Baltimore to see Dr. Herzenberg. He was able to fix the relapse with a cast

for a month. Please do some research before you just " pick " a doctor. Take it

from me... I used poor judgement and I have a 2 year old who just got out of

casts from relapsing and is now having to go to physical therapy to learn to

walk correctly. Someone said there was a good doctor in Orlando if you are

willing to travel.

Call me if you have any questions.

Hi to all,

I am 30 weeks pregnant with my first child...a baby girl! My husband

and I are very excited, but also very nervous. We have been told that

she has bilatteral club feet. I have been doing a lot of research and

it looks like the ponsetti method is the best. While I would travel to

Iowa if absolutely necessary, I would like to find a qualified doctor

in Florida. I see that there are three on Dr. Ponsettis list, but I was

hoping that some of you have taken your angels to these doctors and are

able to give us some advice. I was referred to Dr. Theresa Rattey and

Dr. Brett Baynham, but htey are not on the list and I am thinking they

are just the " best known " around here....but want to take my daughter

to get the absolute best treatment and if that means a little

travel...that's ok. Please help!!!

We see Dr. Herrera-Soto, who works with Dr. Price and Dr. Albright who are on

the list. The three of them are AWESOME! They are located in Orlando. Not only

do they know what they are doing, but they are super nice and pleasant to deal

with. Their office staff is great too, as are their nurses. Great group all

around. We wouldn't see anyone else, and would travel if necessary to see them

(in fact, there are many patients who do travel to see them. I HIGHLY recommend

them. The office number is .

E-mail me if you have any other questions and congrats on the baby!
