Guest guest Posted January 12, 2001 Report Share Posted January 12, 2001 and Diane, When we saw the Neuro today she very impressed with the DOC Band, she asked me if she could have it after we get Sierra's new DOC Band. She told me of an Orthotist who is trying to copy it, but just can't seem to get it right!!! For all of us seeking treatment for our babies, be weary!! Although it may look the same, many various copies of the band will not provide the same thing we are all after. Now my thought is how many babies they took the chance with to find out it didn't fit their needs?? Food for Thought only!! I encourage everyone to carefully research the respected Bands being offered, and please ask for case studies and pictures!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2001 Report Share Posted January 13, 2001 Hey, .. I'm having a hard time keeping everyone straight...But I've impressed myself even on remembering names! ; ) How old is your baby? I'm feeling a little depressed that the orthotist guy I just spoke with on the phone has never banded a baby 18 months old. so I think that means the doctors I'm going to have never prescribed a baby that old. so I am prepared to beg. diane Ssassafras1@... wrote: > Diane, > > You are more then welcome!!!

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2001 Report Share Posted January 13, 2001 Diane and , When we went to the dr. I asked him if they use a STAR band and he said no they use their own. I asked him about a DOC meaning " dynamic " he said they used to call their band a dynamic orothotic cran...(whatever) but cant do that anymore because CT copyrighted the name so changed theirs. I don't know if you have a similar case. > Diane, > > Sierra just turned 18 months on the tenth. Are you going to use the STAR > Band? I'm really not sure how the STAR Band is designed.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2001 Report Share Posted January 13, 2001 , Thanks, I will ask the orthotist about this. I want to make sure this will help him. If it can't, I am going to try to get him to write me a scrip for one that can help. Thanks again, > and Diane, > > When we saw the Neuro today she very impressed with the DOC Band, she asked > me if she could have it after we get Sierra's new DOC Band.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2001 Report Share Posted January 13, 2001 Hi , the people I'm seeing are off of the cranial tech site. so that means they do the DOC right? I hope. diane K wrote: > , > > Thanks, > I will ask the orthotist about this. I want to make sure this will > help him.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2001 Report Share Posted January 13, 2001 Daine, Yes, if they are off the CT sight, it will be the DOC band. I hope mine works out. > > > and Diane, > > > > > > When we saw the Neuro today she very impressed with the DOC Band, > > she asked > > > me if she could have it after we get Sierra's new DOC Band.
