Re: Cost of a STARband

January 21, 2006

Hi MDH's Mom

my son's StarBand in NY state was $3500.00 with office visits and

adjustments included. I am surprised that some of the StarBands were

so much cheaper. I thought the Doc band was cheaper, since most the

time the kids needed 2 of them, and the StarBand can be worn longer

(7 months in our case). But I guess I was wrong.
