Re: New here--what would you do?

,

I am also in MD, but opted to go with CT in VA. My ped had suggested

Starband in Columbia, but CT is closer to me, and they were in my

insurance network. My LO is almost 5 months old and he is getting his

3d imaging done tomorrow and will have his band on the 12th.

When you were researching companies, did you come across anything about

that particular CT office that would raise a red flag? I have not been

able to find anything in particular regarding that VA office.

Thanks!
