[QUOTE="seriously, post: 443611, member: 11920"] For a 2nd opinion (always a good idea in MY opinion) I have 2 suggestions. 1. Contact the doctor who published the case study of the kid on Enbrel. That's the link I posted for you. See if he/she will either do a 2nd opinion consult (in person or long distance records review) or can tell you who in your region he can recommend. The world of pediatric specialties is often very small and they know each other at least by reputation. If he says the docs you are already seeing then perhaps that will reassure you some about the quality of care she is getting now. 2. Apply for care with Shriner's. They provide free care for many orthopedic conditions and I cannot say enough about the quality of the care she would get from Shriner's. Here's a link to their Philadelphia location. Fortunately it includes Ortho as one of it's specialties. [URL]http://www.shrinershospitalsforchildren.org/Hospitals/Locations/Philadelphia.aspx[/URL] [/QUOTE]
