I met someone in the Stop and Shop in Mamaroneck that had a Hanger

helmet on their child. They were very happy with the dr. there.

We're going to Cranial Tech in Paramus. It only takes 1/2 hour/45

minutes to get there, and they are wonderful! Good luck

Hi Kerry,

I live near Poughkeepsie and have been down in Westchester often w/

my daughter. Her orthopedist is down there. He is treating her

dislocated hips and in 2 weeks we'll be going to Hanger for her hip

brace. I don't know how soon You are going, but if I go first I'll

let you know.

Also... Brynne's head MRI came back normal and we're still

positioning her and hoping for the best. We see the ped in 1 week

and we'll go from there with the head shape. (I can only worry

about 1 body part at a time )

Kerry:

I go to a Hanger orthotist in Long Island and my son has done very

well with his helmet. He has been wearing it for two weeks now, no

problems adjusting, sleeping it in just fine, no red spots. Really

no complaints at all. Do you know if they are offering a Starband

at Hanger, or if its the NIC band that we have (which is just really

their modified version of the Starband). The ortho we use in Long

Island is Tony Cappo, and I believe he serves several Hanger

offices. If he is the guy you see in Westchester, you will be fine.

I don't know any other orthos out of the area.

Good luck,

Kim

Thanks so much for writing back. I don't know which orthotist I'll

be seeing, but they seem like a pretty together outfit. I'm so glad

your son is doing well. I don't know which band they are offering,

but I can let you know.

Take care,

Kerry
