Re: Frustrated waiting on neurosurgeon

[Guest guest]

Oh, I understand your frustration. My DS will be 17 months tomorrow,

and we are still waiting on insurance to pre-certify the band. I

would want to change neurosurgeons if mine was making me wait so

long. What part of the country are you in? I'll bet someone on this

site would know someone close to you. If you really think your neuro

is great, maybe you could get an appointment with Cranial

Technologies in the meantime. Is there one near you? They gave Kody

2 free inital consultations, and went ahead and took the pictures.

They also helped me find a specialist for Kody since we got the " it

will round out, " song and dance from everyone else. Their website is

www.cranialtech.com. Good luck!

Hello Kate

Is there anyway you can find a Ped that will write you an Rx. Good

idea is to go to CT to get an eval if you have one close to you.

Good luck

What a pain! I've never heard of that! Maybe your ped could call

and speed things up for you? Or would your ped just write the

script if you know thats what you want? Did they say how much

longer they thought it would take? I certainly don't blame you for

being frustrated!

Interesting that I posted this, got off the web, and the phone rang!

It was the Dr's office. Get this, we can't be seen until July 7. She

will be 7 months by then. I really want to get her in the band if we

need to before then. We go to the PT again this afternoon, so I am

hoping that she will call and see if we can get the appt. bumped up

or if the neuro will just write the script for the band. Our ped.

isn't concerned enough to write the script so I was counting on the

neuro to pull through for us....Isn't it always something? In the

mean time I will call CT and see if we can get in for an eval.

Where do you live? Maybe someone in your area can recommend a

different specialist with a shorter wait. Also, CT may be able to

recommend someone to you. I'd give them a call and explain the

situation. Can you get on a cancellation list in the meantime?
