Guest guest Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Angie, Don't you find it odd that it took a MONTH for this baby to get her band? It says on Orhtomerica's own web site that it shouldn't be longer than 2 weeks in between. I'm really concerned about this. I'm also concerned about the amount of time being spent in the same band. I don't know but red flags are popping up all over the place. What do you think? I know ette was your ortho and Jenna received great correction. But don't you think something isn't right here? -- In Plagiocephaly , " Angie Pope " <apope04@c...> wrote: > > We saw Dr. Singhal also. Do you see ette or Tom?
