I wasn't aware of the STARband even being available here, we live just south of Miami, and we went to the CT clinic in Kendall. They were an awesome team and my son had great results. Are you being referred also to the Miami Childrens STARband? I see you've already gotten a ton of great advice, just wanted to let you know that we did use the Miami CT clinic and had excellent results. Good luck!

Glad to hear you have heard good things about them down here Christie, Actually, only recently had I heard another mom going there (Miami Childrens). I don't know anything about them or have any info, only wanted to share our experience with the CT office in Kendall where my son rec'd a DOC band. Sorry for the confusion!

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2003 Report Share Posted March 3, 2003 Hi all. I am new to the site and have a 10 month old son who has been recommended for the band. I have been told I can choose between both the StarBand and DocBand but I dont know how to begin weighing the pros and cons of each band and if one works better than another. Since you all seem so great and helpful, I was hoping someone could provide their good and bad experiences or any info that can help me to decide. I am in Ft. Lauderdale, FL and both offices are in Miami so if anyone had any experiences in this location with their doctors that make a difference I would love to know! Thanks for your help, this site has helped me already feel more at ease with this decision! Christie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 3, 2003 Report Share Posted March 3, 2003 Hi Christie, I wanted to let you know my daughter Jenna wore a STARband from 9-12 months. She received 80% correction in just 12 weeks. She had moderate to severe plagio. Jenna's orthotist had 20 years experience treating plagio. You need to make sure you ask the orthotist how much experience they have had and ask to see before and after pictures. We were thrilled with Jenna's STARband experience. Good luck with your decision! Angie and Jenna(STARband grad 1/21/03) StarBand vs DocBand Hi all. I am new to the site and have a 10 month old son who has been recommended for the band.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 I would do the consult with both and decide from there, my son is getting his doc band on Wed. but I his ped has never heard of either so I went with what the neuro had to say and what I had researched, which was doc band. Good luck to you From: snydertsc2000 [mailto:snydertsc@...] Sent: Monday, March 01, 2004 9:42 PM Plagiocephaly Subject: Starband vs Docband Hello, I am wondering if anyone has an opinion about the Starband Vs the Docband. The orthotics place in my town that was recommended by my son's physical therapist carries the Starband. But my son's doctor's office recommended the Docband. I don't think they have any experience with the Starband, though. I am not sure they were aware that the other place carries the Starband. Is one or the other better for treatment? Is the treatment time shorter with one? In pictures, the Docband looks like it is less bulky, but I wonder if that depends more on the degree of correction. The place that has the Starband is really close to my home and the one that has the Docband is a couple hours away. I can deal with a little inconvenience if one is better than the other in the long run. Any thoughts? For more plagio info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
