Re: Update: Purvi vs. Ansie

[Guest guest]

I didn't go to CT, but I really believe all their staff is well

trained. There might be a problem here and there with individual

bands, but it doesn't make sense to me that there is only one person

worth seeing in the NJ office. I'm sure they work as a team and if

they have questions they consult with each other. I think getting the

band in a timely matter is important, and I wouldn't worry about

seeing a specific ortho. If you find there is someone you don't like

you can request someone else in the future. I know I've seen a few

posts which are very pro-Purvi, and I'm sure she's good, but I haven't

really heard that the others are not. Also in the rare event that you

have a problem with your band CT will make you a new one at no cost

so it isn't that risky (this has been their approach from what I've

seen in the past).
