Need Recommendations For Specialist

[dm4462]

dr daly and dr mason are both very good my son has had tubes 4 times in 6 years and they are very good with kids.

Thanks for the recommendations! I will look into them next week. This weekend I am working on getting my little guy healthy (his fever finally broke this morning! yaaaay!) and getting a little rest (as those of you who have had a sick toddler know, it's exhausting). It looks the the antibiotic started working, so now he can eat and drink a little more.

I'm quite happy with my pediatrician. As a matter of fact, This is the first thing I've disagreed on with him. He has taken EXCELLENT care of both of my children.

My eight year old just got tubes and had three or four different sinus surgeries (all at the same time) and we used Dr. Rhodes in Calvert.....We LOVE her, but her wait time is really long, at least it was, the last time we went in there we were right in and right out, I said something to the doc about how quick she was, and she said that she had just hired two physicians assistants to help her out and that it should be better from now on.

Dr Daly in Leonardtown.

I had some work done by her back in April and I could not be happier.

She removed my son's tubes when he was 4. No complaints here.

Dr. Rhodes is wonderful.

I went to Dr. Chambers in the Leonardtown area, very dissappointed.

Is that the same Dr. Chambers that used to be in Prince Frederick?

You take a 19 month old to a Chiropractor??


You need help.

Granted I'm not a doctor, but then again, neither is a Chiropractor. How close do the Eustachian Tubes come to the neck or spine?? How EXACTLY does the veterbrae compress the tube that connects the ear canal to the sinuses? How often is a regular visit?? Once a week? Twice a week?? To cure something that can be done right with ONE visit to a doctor? I'm sure your chiropractor is enjoying his new Lexus!

I just don't SEE how the spine can compress a tube that runs from your ear to your sinuses.. but besides that.. a 19 month old, who's bones are still forming, growing, and the littlest bit of damage or mishandling can hurt him for life, you're letting someone manipulate his neck??

You are obviously misinformed. Chiropractors are doctors. Unless you yourself are a doctor or are familiar with the practices and the comparative education of an MD vs. a DC., I would keep your uneducated opinions to yourself.

So tell me, how long is Chiropractor school, and during that time how much of it is dedicated to Pediatric Medicine or Pediatric Chiropracty??

 

[itsbob]

How many hours (or weekend seminars) does it take before a Chiropractor can say they are a qualifed Pediatric Chiropractor??

Why don't I EVER see a sign for a Chiropractor that says.. Dr Melvin Chiroquacker MD??

Bob- just tell them you stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

AND I would assume with your username your son is not only a patient of a chiroparctor but the son of one as well??

To become a chiropractor in the U.S., the student begins with several years of undergraduate studies focused on biology and science. They then complete a 4-5 year program at a chiropractic college. Some states require that you have a bachelor's degree and a chiropractor degree to practice. Chiropractic colleges are accredited by the Council on Chiropractic Education, a branch of the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare.

The curriculum at chiropractic colleges includes anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pathology, orthopaedics, neurology, radiology, physical and lab diagnosis, general chiropractic analysis, and adjusting techniques. Students are expected to complete an internship at an outpatient clinic owned and run by the chiropractic college.

Several year of undergraduate studies equals 2 or 3 years, you don't need a Bachelors degree to get in, and school of Chiropracty is 3.5 years long.. I see you've mentioned radiology.. how long does it take a Radiologist to become one? Yet with their limited education a Chiropractor has machines and reads his own X-rays, and against what a Radiolgist would suggest freely x-ray newborns and infants. They are NOT Md's they are a doctor in the sense of that is what they call themselves.. They get a degree in "Doctor of Chiropractry" Not an MD, not a PhD..


AND I have no problem with adults seeing chiropractors.. that's is what they are trained and educated to do.. yet NONE of their schooling deals with infants, newborns, or pediatrics.

Yep this did the trick, I will NEVER say anything bad about taking a child to a chiropractor.. Apparently they receive a LOT of english composition education as well

I'm not on one side or the other...I just found this info on the net and decided to share.

I understood.. thanks, hope I didn't come across as blasting you, not my intent.

Well, maybe a day or two after I posted on here, My 2 year old's left eardrum ruptured (while on antibiotics). I got him in to see Dr. Daly first thing the next morning. That, in itself, impressed me! Usually it takes WEEKS to schedule a specialist's appointment.

She was also VERY gentle with his ears (as he's VERY sensitive) and didn't try and probe or anything.

His surgery is scheduled for Friday (Jan 19th) which was the SOONEST both her schedule allowed and my husband's schedule allowed. She wanted him in sooner, but well, life happens!

Thank you VERY much for the recommendations! I greatly appreciate them. Sometimes it's nice to know I'm not a psycho paranoid mom and she DEFINATELY reassured me that I did the right thing.
