Re: Savannah GA orthotist recommendation?

July 10, 2008

Hi there-

I can't speak for Savannah or Georgia orthos, but I just wanted to

mention that we go to CT in Charlotte and love everyone there. So I

would definitely recommend them if they are an option for you. We

travel 3 hours from Raleigh to go to appointments, but my in-laws also

live there so it really hasn't been a hardship at all, we just drive

up Sunday afternoons, go to our appointment Monday morning and come

home. I would still have chosen to go there even if we didn't have

family to make it easier (I had a StarBand option closer to home but

chose to make the trip to CT).

The only thing I would question is that there is a possibility that CT

(or possibly another ortho) wouldn't band your son again with " only " 6

mm of asym (it is sometimes hard to get good holding points in a band

if there is not enough asym to begin with). But it's definitely worth

looking into. I'm sorry to hear of the regression, but I hope you can

find a good ortho to hopefully correct it.

Good luck!
