Re: Unhappy with Orthotist at ATLANTA CT

Natasha:

Sorry you don't have a good feeling about CT That's unfortunate.

I find it really odd that she said she didn't have any before & after

pics of babies....that's not true because I am quite positive they

are required to take detailed photos monthly of babies while banded

to track progress. I know they did at the Chicago CT of my Abby.

They've got to have some pictures there. Maybe she was in a bad mood

that day, not saying that excuses her from being crabby to you or

your son!

Really though, Cranial Tech's orthos have all been thru several wks

of training prior to being allowed to treat plagio babies, so their

knowledge is unlike others. I wouldn't be too concerned about her

knowledge of plagio & the DOCband. But I can totally understand your

concerns, I know how you can get " feelings " right off the bat - those

1st impressions are very important.

What are you leaning towards doing now? Banding or no? Sorry you

didn't have a better appt..
