Guest guest Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Hi welcome to the group. I'm sorry I missed your posts. I may possibly be the closest current member to you! I am near Buffalo, NY. The closest Cranial Technologies to us is in Cleveland, OH (DOC band). We got our son a STARband in Rochester, NY. I am astonished that Toronto doesn't have better options. It's good that you are doing your research. You can email me privately if you want or post here again for everyone's great advice and opinions too! Sue Colin F., 14 mos.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Hi Sue, thank you. Cleveland, OH also is the closest location to Toronto. Next would be Chicago, I spoke with them today and they are willing to take us in this week. That is great news. But now, looking at Cleveland option, it would be so much easier on Landon, he hates driving in the car, it is very stressful for him. So a shorter distance would help so much. Does anyone have any experience at either one of these locations? As far as experience, do you think they should be equally qualified? We just want the best for Landon, I feel so guilty because we believed our doctor and followed her orders.....and now is so late....

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 Hi , I don't write much here but I read a lot. My daughter lives in Columbus Ohio and drives 3 hr. one way to take my grandson Chase to the DOC in Cleveland. Chase is in his second band. They are wonderful people there and very good with the children. They know what they are doing and will bend over backward to help you. You could take Landon there with complete confidence. Chase has never had so much as a red spot and has been in a band since April 8, 2004. The casting process is hard but they are very good and it takes just a few minutes. Good luck in whatever decision you make. Billie, Chase's grandma Re: Does the helmet work at 12.5 months?/ Hi Sue,thank you. Cleveland, OH also is the closest location to Toronto.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 , I believe they would be equally qualified. The one in Cleveland is a licensee but they have gone through all of the training. The band itself will be made in Phoenix no matter what. The Cleveland office may be slightly more expensive because they are a licensee, not sure. I would go with whatever is easiest travel wise. mom to na DOC Grad 2/04 SC www.thefilyaws.com PS I've been slack on reading posts and I saw all of these that said and I was worried I had missed something.
