hanger band rotation and hurting his ear

[Guest guest]

Hi, I'm wondering if anybody out there has been to a Hanger orthotist in San

bay area. We have been to two orthotists, and got two Hanger helmet made,

but both of them had bad rotation problem and one side keeps squishing and

hurting his ear while rotated. The orthotists kept saying it's okay and there is

nothing they could do about it.(they expect us as parents to constantly keeping

an eye on the baby and keep on adjusting it every few mins which I think is

ridiculous). We don't really have much option out here except for CIRS in Palo

Alto which is much more costly, but same time I don't want to be wasting any

more time w. Hanger since he's almost 7 months.

I don't know anything about the Hanger in San but I would highly recommend

going to CIRS. We went to the one in Oakland and had a great experience and got

good results. I've heard nothing but good things about the Palo Alto office.

I wonder if switching orthotists actually hindered your progress. If

the original remodeling solution (that is, alterations to the model

of your baby's head, made from orthotist's cast or scan at mfr.

facility) was the problem, and the orthotist had reported that back,

then maybe they would have tried something else. Whereas, coming

from a new orthotist, maybe your kid was just viewed as just a new

case, and the same ineffective work was repeated. So, I'd still be

looking for an administrative solution, I think. Free helmet. Third

time's the charm, right?

But, if you have the means, I totally respect the elapsed time

argument. Sticking with a loser orthotist didn't do Clara's head any

good.
