Guest guest Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 St. ph pediatricians talked to Weinert's assistant who told them that AFOs and DBBs were used!?! Weinert knew who I was and what I needed to hear plus the fact that I would tell Dr. Ponseti, but his assistant had no reason to not tell the truth to the pediatricians. On the opposite, she had to. The pediatrician are seeing those babies with AFOs. Need to dig more - something's not right..... Dessi Re: Re: Question Dear , We are in Orange County, too. I had the dilemma about where to go, too. I wrote to Dr. Ponseti and he answered me soon after regarding doctors in Orange County. Here is what he said, I am sure this will be a big help to you and may help you avoid a trip to Tarzana since he recommends a doctor here in Orange County. Here is the actual text of his email: Dear Mrs. Hewitt: Before a physician is added to my web site, I request that he send me the photos of the feet of three babies he has treated showing the feet before treatment was started and after it was complete, etc. In today's mail I received this information from two California physicians: Dr. Carl Weinert, Jr., 1310 West Dr., Suite 508, Orange, California phone 714 633-2111 and Dr. Lerman, Shriners Hospital, 2425 Stockton Blvd., Sacramento CA 95817 phone 916 453-2049 The photos submitted by each of these physicians show excellent results and their names will be added to our web site. If I can be of further service or answer questions for you at any time, don't hesitate to be in touch. I.V.

Hall send me the link to the California available Doctors and there are only two who we could choose from. Since you are telling me that Dr. King is doing a good job we will try him. I will read the protocol again and hopefully the treatment is going to be as good as in Iowa. How old is now? And how long was the treatment with the cast for her?
