Re: Comment on CT in Paramus NJ and Question for everyone

[Guest guest]

Thanks Debbi. The lady Gloria who answers the phone seems to be very nice. I have to say that i didn't have your experience in that they didn't try any scare tactics with us. I did have the experience that after we went back in sept she said well he has a flat spot. I thought (sarcastically) your kidding. I wouldn't have been there if he didn't. She didn't want to do measurements either. I had to tell her i wanted them done. I jsut think the person i am dealing with is a little inexperienced.

Sounds like your daughter is not doing to bad. Who did you see in Paramus?

Hi Carolyn. I too didn't have a great experience at the Paramus location. The girl who answers the phone was wonderful. I thought that they were pushing the band and used the scare tactic with us, that Brielle would have all the health issues if we didn't do it. We didn't end up banding her and I was a bit annoyed with them. I practically forced the girl to do the measurements on Brielle. Come to find out she was new 4 months there. Brielle was 7mm cranial vault Enough said, it sounds like your baby is making great progress. From what I had read in the past, 0-3 mm normal 4-6 mm doesn't need a band is mild, so your baby is doing great. Good luck. Debbie and Brielle (9mos, repostioned) NJ. -- In Plagiocephaly , "Carolyn"
