Iowa or Manchester

Having found out about our new babies feet and coming to the conclusion that we don't want the treatment to be in Denmark, we are left with the decision as to where we DO want the work to be done. We have been presented with a few options that we have now narrowed down to 2 based on the fact that the doctor should be Ponseti certified and be somewhere that we can won't have to pay for the treatment. That leaves Iowa or Manchester

Iowa City is the home of Dr Ponseti who is recognised as the worlds leading expert in correcting club feet and who treats patients for free at the University Hospital. In terms of treatment, his are the safest hands in the world, but Iowa is a long way from home.

Manchester is home to Dr Davis who is a certified Ponseti doctor and seems to be the most recognised person in the UK for treatment. However we don't live in the UK and there may be some issues in getting treatment there and it is still some way from home although we have family nearer and the there would be fewer problems getting back for check ups...

We are really struggling to decided what to do right now, but it is nice to know that we have the luxury of options and that we are fortunate enough to know in advance what is on the cards...
