Guest guest Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 Hi , No, what it means is that when you call you will not have to wait months to be able to see him (nor will you wait too long when you are there). You still need to call and make an app't- the support staff will be grateful! (we had the same confusion). - trip to IA Dr Ponseti wrote back and he says that does have atypical feet and that I sould go down. It says that he sees patients in the mornings MWF and there is no waiting for appointments. Does this mean I don't have to call and make an appointment? 1/30/04 Bilateral CF DBB 23/7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 Not quite Call and ask for Joyce and she will set an appointment for as soon a possible for you to be there. She will work with you on it. I had to fly from Seattle - which is not cheap - so I could not get there " right away " and she just asked me how soon I would be able to come and gave Kai an appointment for then.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 Hi , When I first called to schedule an appointment, the scheduling office gave me dates that involved a month or more wait. I told them I had already spoken with Dr. Ponseti, and I received an appointment within days. Phone# for scheduling: I anyone going to be seeing Dr. P on May 3? I'd love to meet other parents! I will be bringing Zeke for his first checkup after being in the DBB. He's 1 year old now, cruising but not standing or walking unassisted (I can wait, he's plenty fast run-crawling); I think his feet look right but I will be glad to hear Dr. Ponseti's word on that one way or another! One last note; we took Zeke to his one year appt. w/ his pediatrician, and she was very curious to see his feet. She was quite impressed, saying " they look just like feet should " and " you wouldn't know they were ever clubbed " . I think his were the first non-surgically treated feet she'd ever seen.

We will look for you there! Jen & Livie > Hi , > > When I first called to schedule an appointment, the scheduling > office gave me dates that involved a month or more wait.
