Oklahoma Orthopedic Recommendations
There have been many question asked about how we choose the surgeon for our daughters surgery and why we choose this particular surgeon.
The truth is we didn’t really have time to search for a surgeon. She had seen her regular doctor one day and then two days later we were seeing the surgeon. The day leading up to this appointment was actually spent in physical therapy for her neck condition called torticullis. This were your child’s head may lean to one side or the other causing their neck muscles to not form properly.
I just showed up with my dad at the appointment not really aware of how serious her condition really was. Her regular doctor was only slightly concerned, so I thought, “how bad could it be?” That assumption was totally off. I wish I had been more prepared. If I had known what the next couple of months would hold, I would have tried to do more research. I probably would have come up empty handed as most of you know there is not a lot of information available on this particular topic.
We were lucky that our appointment was with a very experienced surgeon who has treated this condition for over twenty years with several success stories. Natalie’s surgeon was Dr. Sullivan from OU Children’s Center. When I looked him up this morning I found that he has actually been in practice for 39 years.
I know not every one can see the same surgeon, but I found a web site www.revolutionhealth.com that will help you search for a specific doctor or specialty. They will even give you some information on the doctor of choice. This may or may not help in your search for a good specialist. It was one of only a few that I could find and it was the easiest to navigate.
If you have any questions or concerns that you do not want to post on the site feel free to email us at contact@spicacasts.com.
