Re: Hanger VS CT?

I completely agree as well. I had searched many different orthotists

in the New York area and it was very difficult to find an orthotist

that I felt comfortable with, and was able to explain everything

straight up. I eventually found Kidi Splint, and it just clicked. You

just have to find someone that is caring, informative, and

experienced. After that it was just so easy. Of course, the fact that

she had her own child banded, made it a really easy way of relating

to how I experienced the procedure. It is just a matter of finding

that one orthotist that you can really connect to, don't settle for

anything less!
