How do you find an orthotist for a 2nd opinion?

I noticed my daughters head was distinctly flat at her 2 month appt -

pedi told us to wait until her 4 month that it was normal - at her 4

month appt I still was worried about it. He said it was moderately

flat compared to most the babies he sees and sent us to a neurologist

just for peace of mind.

We were lucky and were able to get an appt the next week. We went to

see a neurologist who did not measure or anything just felt our

daughters head, ordered and X ray and told us it was positional plagio

that would correct itself?? I left feeling so lost and a little more

confused then when I got there. My daughters head is definately flat

on one side (her photo is under M for Madison in the photo gallery)

and I guess I just can't believe that her head will reshape on its

own. She is only 4 months old so I felt like we were catching it at

the most crucial time for the band to work. We have a follow up with

the neurologist in March but she will be 6 1/2 months by then. And he

said that the band was purely cosmetic anyway so insurance would not

cover it.

How do you go about getting a 2nd opinion? Should I call our pedi

again?? I hear everyone talking about the orthotist being the crucial

one, so how do you find an orthotist in the area? I live near Memphis,

TN if anyone has any recomendations on where we should go.

Thanks,

- mom to Madison 4.5 months
