I educated my pediatrician about Dr. Ponseti

[Guest guest]

had his one-year checkup last week and the pediatrician asked

if he had the surgery. He was supposed to have major surgery on his

feet to straighten his bones until I found out about Dr. Ponseti just

in the nick of time. :)Anyway, I told her we found Dr. Mack at

Shriner's Hospital who uses the Ponseti method and didn't need

surgery. She was amazed to learn that it only took 6 casts to correct

his feet and only the tenotomy as opposed to major foot surgery. She

said she would do some research on Dr. Ponseti and definitely let

other patients know about Dr. Mack. I'm happy to know she has the

information so other parents can learn they have a choice over

surgery.
