Guest guest Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 , Does Dr. Honeycutt do banding now? I thought he referred plagio babies to Bill Barringer.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 , Not sure. Haven't had the appointment yet, but Liz's ped seems to think so. I'll have my dh call Dr. Honeycutt's office to see. It's the whole point of us going to OKC.. I'd hate to waste a trip. Thanks for the info. -- > > > > > > > > Hello. I'm new.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 , Unless he's started banding babies this February he doesn't band babies. He will most likely refer you to Bill Barringer who uses the STARband and is located The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, Department of Orthopedic Surgery and Rehabilitation, 920 Stanton L.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 Dr. Honeycutt was the neurosurgeon who referred to Bill Barringer. He said he doesn't normally recommend the helmet but will give a prescription for one if the parents want it. He did recommend one for due to the facial asymmetries though. , if you have any questions feel free to ask. just graduated one week ago today from his STARband. I cannot say enough good things about Bill Barringer. Let us know how her casting goes.
