We go to Shriners in Erie
hi kim,
first time posting on your thread, but i wanted to say welcome. it's great that you are comfortable with dr. albanese -- believe me, sometimes that can be one of the biggest hurdles! on that note, i also wanted to put in a good word for erie shriners. my son lucas who is now 3 1/2 yrs old was diagnosed with infantile scoliosis at 18 mos. we live north of boston so we first went to children's hospital in boston (15 min car ride) for 1 yr while we gave bracing a try. anyway, we ended up going to dr. sanders in erie because besides bracing, he also does serial plaster casting for scoliosis. lucas has been in multiple casts for 1 yr. i don't have any experience with bracing with dr. sanders, but he is a wonderful doctor and of course, shriners is free for kids with any orthopaedic problem. this would solve your dilemma with the health insurance. just to give you more options. also, it is always good to get a second opinion when it comes to dealing with your child's health. you don't necessarily need to go there, you could just send your records to dr. sanders to get a second opinion.
best of luck,
deshea
