Got the script for the helmet

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone. Well, we are back from Dr. Camp (Ped. Ortho) He said

Shane had mild tort and severe (on a scale from 1 to 10, he gave it

a 6/7) plagio. He gave him the script for the helmet. There is a

company in Vegas called Prosthetic Center of Excellence. I was

surprised at this, as I thought I would have to travel a long

distance. Anyhow, they use Orthoamerica products, which I believe

is the Starband (thanks to the great database on this website:)

My dilema now is the fact that we possibly may be moving to South

Carolina (soon) (within the next two months) I need to find out if

he can get banded here (I think that's the term you use) and then

get treated at another facility in South Carolina for his follow up

appointments. If not, then I will have to wait till we move and

start over. (Find a ped, get a referral to a ped ortho, then get a

script, on and on and on....) I need to research this prosthetic

center a bit more, but there are closed till Monday and their

website is not coming up. So I wait. I do have an appointment with

a ped neuro at the end of the month to get a 2nd opinion, but

somehow I don't think I need a 2nd opinion. I feel it in my gut

that this needs to be done. Sooooooooooooo, that's the scoop for

now. For those of you in Florida near the hurricane, I'm thinking

of you:)

Bye for now.

There are 2 location in SC that use the STARband. You may be able to get continuation of treatment. I don't know anything about them. You would need to interview them too (probably over the phone) to insure they were experienced enough for continuation of treatment. I'm in SC but we went to CT in Charlotte. I'm not sure if CT would work on a StarBand. Where is the closest CT?

Hi MOnica,

I called one of the centers in South Carolina and they referred me

to another office in Trident (I hope I 'm spelling that right) That

would be closest to us in Lexington/Irmo area. THey would be happy

to continue treatment. That is a relief (not sure about how

insurance with a new company is going to work...but I'll deal with

that later)

We have an appointment on Tuesday for scanning.

The ball is rolling.................

Have a great day!

I'm so glad you are able to get the ball rolling. Shane is at

such a good age for treatment. Who knows he may be done by the time

you move to SC (I'll keep my fingers crossed). I'm so glad you are

Are you planning on " interveiwing " the Trident ortho too? I would

highly recommend it. Even for " just " continuation of treatment you

need to make sure they have done a few bands otherwise I would drive

to ton. JMHO. Do you have the phone number for this office?

I would love to get more info about them and put it in the database.

Also, if you could share the Las Vegas info because I'm not sure it's

in the database.

Thanks,
