Dr. Steven Frick: Managing Parent Expectations and Providing Education
Dr. Steven Frick, Chief of Pediatric Orthopedic Surgery at Lucille Packard Children’s Hospital/Stanford, Professor and Vice Chair of Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine, talks about his personal experience of having a child born with clubfoot and how that lead to a passion for treating clubfoot as an surgeon. Dr. Frick discusses how he manages parent's expectations of clubfoot treatment from the very first visit and the common misconceptions that parents can have about clubfoot. He also discusses common signs of relapse (residual deformity) and how they can be treated. A huge thank you to Dr. Frick for being a guest and I know you will learn a lot from this episode.
