My 7 year old niece was diagnosed with juvenile soliosis 6 months ago. Her doctor monitored it for the first 6 months and now recommends a Boston brace and has cautioned that she'll likely need surgery in 2 years or so, with addtional surveries likely as she grows. My sister (the mom) is terrified, as even though the doctor is at Stanford Medical, an excellent facility, he has no experience with a child this age. They have taken her to the other renowned medical center in the Bay Area, UCSF, and the doctors there also have never seen a child this young with the condition. My sister and our family are desperate to find a doctor that has worked with kids this age, and will travel to anywhere in the country to see him or her. Can anyone offer us a referral or advise.
Thank you so much,
