RE: New here-Ponseit Doctor recommendation??

March 28, 2004

Hello,

Welcome to the site, my name is Charity and I live in Orange County. I would

love to share with you my experience. My son was born with bilateral

clubfoot treated by Dr. Ponseti himself and is now 3 1/2 years old running

around. Please email me off line and I will give you my phone number or I

can call you. Congratulations on your pregnancy.

I look forward to talking with you.

New here-Ponseit Doctor recommendation??

Hello everyone,

My husband and I had our 20 week ultrasound recently and discovered

that our son will be born with bilateral clubfoot. This was not

wholly unexpected as my husband was born with the same. We are not

especially worried about it. We are just grateful that this is the

only condition we will have to deal with, there are so many worse

things out there. Also my husband went on to play many different

sports including college basketball (in addition to growing to 6 foot

six inches in height!) so as I said we feel like everything is going

to be fine.

I am a bit paranoid about making sure our son gets the right

treatment right off the bat. The Ponseti website does not list any

doctors for Orange County, California, where we live. I was hoping

to solicit any recommendations for doctors in this area, with whom

you have had happy experiences and/or you know to be trained in the

Ponseti method? I have emailed Dr. Ponseti as well.

Thank you in advance. I look forward to getting to know you all

better.

Hi!! I have a daughter that was born with bilateral clubfoot in

Nov. 01, and we also live in Southern California. Since you are in

Orange County I think you may want to go with:

We are in the Pomona Area, and have chosen to go with:

D. King

We are very pleased with the treatment that we have recieved so far.

We began our initial treatment with Dr. Ponseti himself, as we had

family in Iowa anyhow, and it was going to be the same price if we

stayed in California and got treatment or went to Iowa. We figured

that for follow up treatment we would stay local it was alot

easier. Becky is now almost 2 1/2 and you can't tell (without

looking very close) that there is anything wrong with her feet. SHe

easily keeps up with her 5 1/2 year old brother, climbing, running,

and jumping with the best of them

Good Luck and Hope this Helps.
