Re: UGH! Top Specialist says no band needed but I STILL think-PICS R UP

[Guest guest]

You need a doctor to write a prescription for a DOCband, which is

provided at Cranial Tech. A doctor doesn't give you the band, just

the script. You cannot get a band without one. Cranial Tech will

do a consult w/out one, but that's it. Once you get the script,

Cranial Tech fits the band and does all the adjusments. If you are

having trouble finding a doc to say she needs a band, call Cranial

Tech and ask them to recommend a doctor that they see referrals

from. Good luck.
