Help! Looking for Dr. certified in Ponseti Method in or near Alabama.

[Guest guest]

We are expecting a baby August 7th that will have bilateral

clubfoot. I did not see anyone in Alabama certified. Is there an

updated list? Does anyone know of anyone nearby? We are willing to

travel for the best care.

The closest Ponseti method certified doctors to Alabama that we are

aware of are in Atlanta. It is possible that they may be aware of

doctors in Alabama who are beginning to use the Ponseti method.

Here is a listing of 7 ped ortho doctors in Alabama who are listed as

members of the Pediatric Orthopedic Society of North America (POSNA)

at their web site although we are not yet aware of any of them using

the Ponseti method. It is possible that some of them are using it

but we would encourage you to ask Dr. Ponseti for a reference.

Dr. J. Doyle Birmingham

Dr. T. Killian Birmingham

Dr. L. Buckley Huntsville

Dr. J. Ruda Maxwell AFB

Dr. R. Dempsey Mobile

Dr. M. Hannon Mobile

Dr. Prasit Nimityongskul Mobile

It is also possible that there are some podiatrists in your area who

are beginning to offer the Ponseti method although we are not sure

exactly how to find them and know about their level of experience. I

am aware that some of our local podiatrists have begun offering the

Ponseti method although because of current referral networks with

pediatricians they may not see as many clubfoot children as ped

orthos. The American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons endorsed the

Ponseti method about a year and a half ago as indicated at their web

site at http://www.acfas.org/prinfantclubfoot.html That study was

prepared by Dr. Colburn, a podiatrist who is on Dr. Ponseti's list of

qualified doctors in the method.

At their web site the ACFAS lists about 34 podiatrists in Alabama.
