Hi Dan,
We bring our son Matt (age 15, diag 5/02) to Dr. Hotchkiss in Grand Rapids. West Michigan. He also was seen at U of M, less bedside manners, but professional.
In hind sight, I would have suggested Shriners in Chicago. Go to their web page. We are going to bring Matt their for their gait lab. Matt’s had 2 surgeries (this year) and is scheduled for another on 11/24/03. He has a 2 inch leg difference.
Good luck. I also suggest you join the yahoo support group too. In it is a database, where doctors are listed, along with parents comments.
Take care, Renee
