Null,
Which post and who would you like to respond? If you have specific detailed questions about the procedure or need for surgery I suggest you contact Dr. Kozin. He does a wonderful job explaining anatomy and the procedure. If you have any other questions for me you could reach me at
cpfranlin@psualum.com
Thanks.
Cindy

Louise,
I was and still impressed with the quality of care we recieved and still continue to receive. It's amazing, surgery results are amazing I am so glad we made the decision to go there. They are such a great group of people - when we were there for follow up therapy having lunch the nurses that took care of him during the day a month prior stopped and fussed over his a while.
Matthew is has been back to himself for a while now (I think a few hours out of surgery he wasn't but that's it) LOL.

Hi! Could you please write me back at my e-mail rather than answering on the website since I hardly ever get there. Thanks so much!
TY for all the info. So helpful! I am trying to get to Philly to see Dr. Kozin for my son, Michael. Dr. Nath wants to do a Mod Quad and also a caps at the same time but I have hesistated on it due to feeling that it`s too much all at once and I have not yet been able to see any other physician to get another opinion. He said he would be in a cast or whatever it is they call the splint, for 10 weeks. Wow! I just feel that they may be too long. How does your son cope daily and for such a long time?
My son is 2 on Dec. 9th. I wondered if it was possible for Shriner`s to help with airfare from Quebec, Canada? Do you know? Are there any qualified BR doctors in this area that you now about or have heard about in Quebec?
Dr. Kozin sounds great about seeing Michael but is it possible to just go for one day to see him and then leave the same day in order to save on hotels fees, etc., plus, I have no car with me and will go alone.
Do you have to return often to check on things? How often? It must be Dr. Kozin that you see when you return? Any chance it could be another Shriner`s or no? Thanks so much! You also said you would have to go back for intensive therapy when his arm is better? In that case, where would you stay for one week?
Thanks! Looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours truly,
Renee
