Re: Are There Doctors in the Boston Area Specializing in Plagio?

[Guest guest]

Hi Rick,

Im actually going to see a neurosurgeon this Wednesday AM at Boston

Children's Hospital. His name is Dr. . I don't really

know much about him except he is part of my insurance provider,

Harvard Pilgram. Also, he is pro-helmet. I did speak to his

receptionist/nurse. She said they have a great deal of experience

with plagio babies.

I will post my experience on Thursday.

I would very much like to hear from you after your appointment. We

use Tufts but I am sure we will end up running into the same

specialists.

Thank you for your quick response

Rick, I just wanted to wish you luck in your search. I'm sure there

is someone up there that is plagio knowledgeable.

Hi Rick I am from Western, MA and I contacted Dr. Mark Proctor at

Children's Hospital when we began this process (6 mo. old

scaphocephaly, DOCBand 1/04). He quickly responded to my emails. I

got his email off the children's web site and searched under

craniofacial. We didn't end up using Children's. Our insurance ended

up only covering Yale/New Haven and we go to the Cranial Technologies

clinic in Clinton, CT. I was impressed by Dr. Proctor and how

quickly he responded to my emails when we were not even patients.

Good Luck- We have had a wonderful experience with the CT clinic in

Conn, if you end up going that route. and Ellen (6 mo.)

Westfield, MA
