Re: Urgent Help on Referral in PA area (Quakertown, ABE, Philadelphia)

[Guest guest]

Hello. We live in PA. What type of band does he have?

Unfotunately, with many orthotists they will not see a baby that has

been seen in another office due to liability issues. There is a

wonderful Hanger Orthotist in Bethlehem, if he was being seen at a

Hanger she may be willing to see him

Here is her info...

Maureen Gray

3400 Bath Pike

Suite 102

Bethlehem, PA 18017

610-867-3460

If he has a STARband, you may want to contact someone at Lawall in

Hershey, PA. They are located at the Hershey medical center. It

would be a little more of a drive, but worth it if they are willing

to see him.

Good luck.

All,

I just wanted to say a big " Thank-You " to all that responded to my

plight. I was able to get my son seen by a specialist at H.J. Lawall

in Sellersville, PA on Monday. They will continue to monitor him on a

bi-monthly schedule. Thanks again for your responses.

Regards,

Ato Arkaah.
