Guest guest Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 Hi , I hope you are enjoying your pregnancy. I remember it was quite a shock to find out via Ultrasound that my baby had clubfeet, but the treatment is really not bad at all. The important thing is that it is totally correctable. We are in NJ too! I am not aware of any Ponseti Dr's in NJ, but we see Dr. Feldman in NYC. Here is his contact information: Feldman, M.D. 301 E. 17th St. New York, NY 10003 Tel: Fax: I hope that helps!

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 I live in South Jersey, exit 98 off the Pkwy. and we traveled to NYC to have Mo treated for bilatteral clubfoot. The drive was 1 1/2 hrs. door to door(including parking) and it was a hard trip but well worth it. We used Dr. Feldman in Joint Disease.. Good luck.

He had bilateral clubfoot and a severe and unusual case at that. I am in Birmingham Alabama and traveled to Iowa. It was well worth it because of the difficulty of the case. For the best referral you should call Dr Ponseti's office. They can give you the name of physicians he has trained in the area. There is often a vast difference between those who have been trained by him and those who say they use Ponseti's technique. I have seen too many come through his door with horrible results because they got the wrong doctor (80% of Dr P's patients are ones he is correcting from other's mistakes) We were so fortunate to have him from the beginning and avoid errors. The closest trained Drs to us were in Atlanta, but they had only been trained in his technique a year earlier. In most normal cases, many can do just fine. It's when you run into problems that it really escalates. We stayed at the Mc house (very inexpensive) and Dr P worked with my schedule to help make it as easy as possible. At the very least, if you get a reference from him you will have the peace of mind of knowing you're with the right guy. Also, if you run into problems, there will be an easy transfer of info between the doctors. e-mail him at ignacio-ponseti@... good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 Hi Doh! Thank you for correcting me - I have been to the new office, I just didn't notice I was posting old info. Thanks! > Meredith, you probably haven't been in the office in a couple of months.
