] Bilateral Clubfeet in San , Texas

[Guest guest]

Welcome ,

I found out that our son, , was to have bilateral clubfeet prior to

his birth also. We live in San Diego, CA and asked Dr. Ponsetti directly who we

should see. He suggested Dr. Colburn in the San Francisco area. I know that he

is not in Texas, but I highly recommend him if you can't find anyone closer. We

flew up to see him weekly until the castings were done. I hope you find

someone close to you.

This is a great place to meet parents with kids with clubfeet. I know that

this is a trying time for you. Feel free to vent, ask your questions and just

talk about what is on your mind. Our son had very severe bilateral clubfeet.

He is now after seven castings and wearing his bar shoes until he was three is

perfect. His feet are absolutely perfect! He runs, climbs, jumps and kicks

balls just like all the other kids. If you ask my husband he would say that

does it better then the other kids. LOL We could not be happier with the

Ponsetti Method of treatment.

Good Luck

Bilateral Clubfeet in San , Texas

Good morning,

I'm almost 6 months pregnant and our baby has been diagnosed with

bilateral clubfeet. Since our diagnosis, about a month ago, I've

been surfing the internet trying to educate myself about the

abnormality.

My husband and I have been very impressed with what we have read

about the Ponseti Method and feel this is the way to go for our baby.

However, every search I've done for a doctor in San , Texas

has come up empty handed. My next visit with my OBGYN is July 1st

and I will ask her for a recommendation.

I just wanted to know if anyone was from San or the

surrounding areas (Austin, Houston or Dallas) & could point us in

the right direction. As I'm sure all of you know - we don't just

want a doctor that's heard of the Ponseti Method but one that's

proficient in his methods.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerly,

& Craig
