Hi,
I can see I'm not always good at communicating what I really mean. I didn't mean to imply that only indigent people do and should seek treatment from Shriners. In my research and in hearing from many others on this board I know that many of the top doctors for any type of orthopaedic treatment are to be found at Shriners. I considered consulting with Shriners in Los Angeles and also the Haider Spine Center in Riverside (another facility that sometimes assists those in need of surgery for free) but we felt so good and confident with our doctor and Children's Hospital itself, and being able to have the surgery done fairly close to home was an added bonus. But I, myself have recommended Shriners Hospital to people without any regard as to what their financial status may be.
I sincerely hope I didn't offend anyone, I would never question anyone's choice of doctor or facility. Like Carmell, I understand that we all are making the best choices possible for our children.
Peace to All,
Renee
