Apart from the RCH, where else can I take my son for a second opinion on his mild plagiocephaly? The RCH say he doesn't need a helmet, which is all fine with me as my son is 4 months old and has a mild flat spot, but a second opinion would be nice. There doesn't seem to be any other contacts on the internet. Any information will be appreciated.
Where do you live? If you are in NSW, I'd think Dr Robert Jones (neurosurgeon) at Sydney Children's Hospital in Randwick would be a good person to see for a second opinion. He was apparently one of the pioneers of the helmet therapy. If you're not in NSW perhaps you could phone the orthotics department of whichever hospital near you makes helmets and ask which neurosurgeons prescribe helmet therapy through the hospital. Then you could get a referral from your gp to one of those neurosurgeons and see them privately.
