Re: Need specialist in NYC

[Guest guest]

Hi there-

I can't help you with the NYC area specifically, but I just wanted

to say that you are totally doing the right thing by seeking a

second opinion. There is some natural rounding out that can occur,

but for some babies, it's just not enough. And it is better to seek

treatment now than to wait and have regrets if it's too late to do

anything. I was one of the moms that let it go for a while, longer

than I should have, so I always recommend going with your gut and

don't stop until you get the answers that you're satisfied with.

I hope someone can help you by recommending a specialist for you to

see.

Good luck!

Don't wait - see a specialist and let them tell you if it is nothing or

not. Call Dr Wisoff at NYU. If you need a helmet, they will only

suggest, not recommend, so I'll recommend Kidi Splint.
