Montreal Canada to be treated for free by a Ponseti Dr. there? His

I met more parents from the United States then who were from Canada.

Just because they are in Canada does not mean you will be charged as

an outsider to the system. It is still free. Same application process

as the others mentioned applies. Personal info on who you are and

where you live sort of thing. You need to contact the 1-800 number on

their web site. They will refer you to the closest Shriners Temple

who will help you. OR you can contact the Montreal Shriners direct

and ask for Family Services. Then tell them you want to see Dr.

Beneroch as he has been recommended because of his club foot

treatment and how do you get an appointment. This route may be more

direct as the 1-800 number might sqwauk at being told you want to see

a specific Dr who is not as close as the possible " nearest " Shriners

Hospital. I think they prefer to be closer if at all possible.

> If you have any questions about a specific name of a staff there

let me know and I'll find it for you.

Thanks for the recommendation. I've found a Ponseti doctor at a

Shriner's in Massachusetts, which would be closer. I appreciate your

help.

Hi there, We have been seeing Dr.Dobbs for over a year now at

shirners in St.Louis. We love him. He is fantastic. He is great with

Isabella and she adores him as well. All we did was called shriners

St.Louis and said that we wanted to see only Dr.Dobbs for Isabella's

treatment and they set it all up for us. He is there every Thursday

at Shriners the rest of the time he is at childrens. We have

insurance and everything but shriners hospitals always accept

children with disabilities and other problems. They won't turn you

down. I think you will like Dr.Dobbs. Are you going to Shriners?

Maybe we will meet one day. Our next appointment is November 18th. Oh

we live In southern Illinois. Where are you located at?

Best wishes and congrats on the upcoming arrival

(Mom to Isabella 10-12-02 bilateral cf)

Glad you found one closer. Sorry, I know about as much about the States and what

State is next to the other as most Americans know about Canada.....ie, not much

: ) But, I must admit, now that I live here I'm learning a lot,eh! lol!

school.
