"My old pediatrician ignored me for 10 months. I had to fly from San Francisco to Phoenix to get my son's head corrected because the hospital does not believe in helmet treatment. Mothers KNOW their child better than a doctor who sees the child for 8 minut"
"Please find a way for all insurance companies to cover the cranial helmet."
"--another parent who was repeatedly told by our pediatrican that our daughter's head would "round out" soon. At a year old now--it is nearly too late for effective correctional therapy."
"This is a very important issue that needs to be addressed so that more children can have the opportunity to have a more normal head shape. Thank you"
"My nephew who had a malignant brain tumor at the age of 8 months -- his mother was told from the time of his birth until the diagnosis and surgery -- don't worry, it'll round out. No parent should have to fight a medical doctor to have their baby checked "
"We had to do our own research regarding plagiocephaly. No one in the hospital knew anything about it"
