Hi Karrie, just wondering if you got the info I sent in reference to the doctor in our area. Hope all is well and that Kyle is doing great! Let me know if you need anything.

Jennifer,
No I did not get the info. Did you email it to me? Could you maybe post it here for me. I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks and take care.

I mailed it and also posted it under your original post below. Here is the info, it's Dr Alter out of Mt Washington Ped Hospital, but she has satellite offices in PG Hospital and Nighttime Ped in Pasadena(which would be a haul for you). The number is 410 544 7838. Tomorrow is a good day to call that number because that is the Pasadena one and they are in that office on Mon and Thurs. Hope this helps. Let me know if there is anything else you need. Take care.

Jennifer,
Thanks for the info. What kind of doctor is Dr. Alter? Who is Dr. Selko? Is that just your therapist? Thanks again for the help. Take care.

Hi Karrie,
Dr Alter is a physiatrist and Sharon Selko is our therapist, she too is great. Hope this helps.

Jennifer,
Thanks....that is a big help to me. I will definitely have to give her a call. Is her first name Katherine? I was checking my insurance book to see if she is covered and the only Dr. Alter is Katherine, but it said she was in Washington D.C. on Irving St. Thanks again for all your help. I did go back and look at my original post and saw that another family in Maryland uses her too. Thanks again for the info.

Hi...I hope that you don't mind if I butt in....but do you find that you need a physiatrist? If so - for what exactly? Mine was great for awhile and then dropped off the face of the Earth. I live in MD, too.

Thanks

We take our son to her for a check up every 3-4 months. She is great to have for any questions or concerns we have about his arm, since we are so far away from Texas. She is the one who told us that Tyler would need the suppination surgery. If you have anymore questions feel free to email me. Where in MD are you? I live in Arnold, which is near Annapolis.

Karrie,
Sorry, yes it is Katherine Alter. She takes all kinds of insurance.

I live in Germantown.

Thanks for your response about Dr Alter and what services she provides for you. I may have to look into finding a new physiatrist. It sure would be nice to have a professional to talk to about his injury )someone local who is following him).
