Digest Number 3454 San Diego vs. Burbank

July 17, 2003

Not sure if my essay on Rebekkah's treatment went through, I hit the wrong

button before sending it..... if it comes through twice, sorry!!!

> I would highly recommend San Diego (which was a seven hour drive for us).

> WE just went there at the end of June after being rudely treated by the

> people in Burbank. My daughter, Rebekkah, is currently in a helmet by

> Hanger Ortho up here in Fresno. Her ortho, Gavin, may not have as much

> experience as some but is very open to being questioned. Her head has

> rounded out, but he is sort of confused as to why her ears haven't come

> into alignment. HE recommended for our piece of mind that we get a second

> opinion on his helmet and if the second opinion felt they could do better,

> he would refund the ins. money so we could go with another helmet.

Burbank

> wouldn't even give me the time of day without a deposit. San Diego was

> willing to see her as well as evaluate his product. They could of sold us

> the DOC band but they didn't. They felt that her torticolitis was still

> other topic!!! )

>

> Currently we had x-rays to see if perhaps her lamboid (not sure if that's

the

> right word) sutures might have closed already. IF that's the case, her

ears

> will not move and when will be out of her helmet for good. Hope this

essay

> helps!!!
