I have to share an experience that happened to me yesterday. The first Dr. my daughter saw lives close to the town where we live. When my daughter was first diagnosed with soli, we took her to him and he said Boston brace 20 hours a day and he wouldn't even discuss any other options. I have scoliosis and I wore a boston brace for a year and hated every day I wore it. I was very upset and decided to take her to the Dallas/Fort Worth area to look at other options. I let the first Dr. know how I felt and I guess a bad note was put in my daughter's file. To make a long story short, the DFW Dr. was willing to let her try a Charleston Nighttime brace, and then after about a year a Boston for 16 hours a day. She was 11 when this all started and now she is 14. He also didn't mind when I took her to Houston to look at Spinecor. Now her curves have progressed and she is facing surgery. Since the first Dr. lives close, I called to ask him for a second opinion. They said I needed to send all records. I did this and then they called and asked why I sent all her records to them. Then, they said they don't do second opinions. Yeah, right! I really believe that one. Can you believe this?
