we have been there and we saw a doctor there named dr. casandera or something. he really did not seem to know a whole lot of stuff. he just really said that he would agree with the other docs that we saw but, all the others we saw all wanted us to do something different. i really think when it comes to bpi MOST doctors local are afraid to say "i have no clue!"

I am about an hour form there. But we have never been there. I was told (by Shriners) there isn't a BPI doc there. So we go out of state. If you go please let me know your experience. Best of luck

Angels mom, that sounds terrific! It would be fantastic if you didn't need to travel. I wonder if they would fly him to California?!?!
