New and would love advice!

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone, I'm from NJ, and I just discovered this group today. Last

week my daughter Katelyn, who is 4 months old, had a dr's appointment, and our

pediatrician recommended we take her to a cranial specialist to evaluate her

head. She definitely has a flat spot on the right side and her ears are a

little uneven. I don't think she has any trouble with her neck muscles because

for the last few days I have been making sure I turn her head to the left

instead of the right and she is perfectly happy that way. The doctor gave us a

prescription to take her to a Cranial Remolding Center nearby, but it is not a

doctor's office, it is a center where they do a STARscan and I assume get a

STARband. Now I am wondering if I should ask the doctor to send us to a

neurologist first, or try to see if there is a Cranial Tech center anywhere near

us? I called my insurance company and they said the place we are going is out of

network, but could not give me any names of places that were in network. And I

am not sure if the place we are going will give us a realistic picture of what

we should do, or if they are just interested in selling their product and will

tell everybody their baby needs it. I would appreciate some advice from anyone

who had had a similar experience. Thanks!
