Re: We have an appoinment! Help with first visit please

[Guest guest]

Sorry, I didn't see this until today. Did the appointment go okay? I wouldn't go

to a provider that makes you uncomfortable.

I'd ask how long they've been doing bands and how many they've made, what other

children's results have been, if they can show you before and after pictures or

give references, what your child's measurements are and what they mean, whether

they recommend treatment or not and why, what to expect to pay yourself and

through insurance, what the next steps are regarding obtaining a prescription

and obtaining insurance coverage, how long your child will need to wear them

helmet, how often it will be adjusted, how soon you can get in if your child has

an unexpected problem with the helmet, and what results you can expect when

treatment is done. Also, make sure you find info on torticollis and, especially

if your child has plagiocephaly, get a referral from the pediatrician to a

physical therapist for an evaluation if you suspect torticollis.

consultation.Can anyone tell me what to expect at a first visit? Also what kinds

of questions should I ask? I just want to be prepared so if they jerk me around

like the last place I will know about it before I leave so I can have the upper

hand.
