Re: new member must decide between doc band and star band

[Guest guest]

I highly recommend the DOCBand. Cranial Tech has a long and proven

history. I understand your position though, we could have gone for a

StarBand about 40 minutes away, but chose to go to CT almost 3 hours

away. I felt strongly that it was the better place to go so was

willing to make the drive. Which CT would you be going to? Have you

gone to both for consultations? If not, I recommend it. It's always

good to get a first-hand feel for each place and then follow your gut.

Good luck with the decision!

I am in the same exact dilemma. Orginally I was only considering Star

band b/c it was closer (45 minutes), but for piece of mind I also

made an appointment this week for the Doc Band (2 + hours). From

everything I have read DOC band seems to have a much better

reputation. And they did tell me that since my daughter is older (6

months) I only would have to come every 2 weeks instead of weekly.

I am going for a consult at both this week, so I will let you know.

What area are you in? We are considering STARband in Columbia ,MD and

DOC band in VA.

we had a starband from a very experienced ortho, and were happy with

it. I would recommend visiting both offices and seeing which you are

more comfortable with. Cranial Tech has a great reputation and all

their staff seem well trained from what I know (mostly from this

board). The starband success depends on how good the ortho is - and

this varies a lot.
