Thank you for your advice. I have not been able to find any doctors in

MI via Dr. Ponseti’s web site, so I am trying to figure out where else

to look.

Re: Michigan Doctor

Hi,

Welcome and congratulations on your pregnancy!

To find a Ponseti certified doctor in your area, click on " links " to

the left of this page there is a link to Dr. Ponseti's web site...you

want to click on " comprehensive list of internet links about the

Ponseti method " it will take you to the site, there click on other US

physicians offering the method.

You have come to the right place to find out great info regarding the

treatment of your daughter! If you have been doing any research, you

have probably come to the conclusion that you do not want unnecessary

surgery on your daughter when the non-surgical Ponseti method has

been proven to work in almost all cases!

Let us know where you live and you will probably get advise on who to

see in your area. I have heard that there have recently been many

more doctors practicing the Ponseti method and am not sure if all

have been added to the list.

I live in Canada thus have no experience (TG) with HMO's but you will

probably get some good info on that as well. The Ponseti method is a

much more effictive and less costly method of treatment!

Again congrats on your daughter and definately post where you live so

someone can advise you who to call.
