Guest guest Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 I just want to tell you that we had sort of a problem with that Hanger facility b/c they said my daughter's head was a tough case having a flat spot on the back side and a flatter side to her face. They couldn't make the helmet fit correctly, it shifted and lifted off her head alot. After 1.5 months of dealing with them we ended up moving. The guy that was seeing us there was , and he kept making a comment that she was such a difficult fit. Hopefully you won't have these issues since you don't have much facial assymetry. But if you do, I would suggest going to Prescott's. It's located on Huebner which is right down the road and they are SUPER nice. Best of luck with all of that. We are currently using a neuro. named Mancuso and she so far has been very nice-busy, but very nice. We just found out that she is no longer taking our insurance though so we will probably be switching to Dr. Jimenez---he comes highly recommended when we thought our daughter might have an early closure of a growth plate, but we haven't actually met with him, but his staff is VERY VERY nice. So if you are maybe thinking of changing neuro's then I would recommend him. My daughter was also born with a round head, and then torticollis came in our lives and too we ended up with the flat spot and facial assymetries. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. The people on this board are extremely nice and will help any way they can. Welcome, and now your on the road to a round little head!!! > > Hello. I'm new here. I'm , 25.
