Thank you for those who let me know Dr. Nath was coming to Chicago. What happens at his conferences? Do you bring your child? Can you see him individually? Has anyone seen Dr. Nath where he ended up recommending no surgery? Please advise. Thank you!!

Yes, this last time we saw Dr. NAth he recommended a surgery, but then said it was cosmetic and if it were his son, he wouldn't do it. We love Dr. Nath and trust his judgement completely. GAYLE

Usually the conference part of the event is for therapists. There are appointments set up to see Dr. Nath individually and yes, you bring the child along.

It does happen often that Dr. Nath doesn't recommend surgery. He only suggests it if it is necessary.

Danielle, you can read about his clinics on his site http://www.drnathclinics.com. There is a FAQ there that will answer your questions. Sometimes he has other people join him, other doctors or specialists. I think he's going to Chicago by himself this time.
