Free Cranial Consultation

What Free Cranial Consultation Involves

The consultation costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Kristen looks at your baby's head from every angle, takes measurements, explains what is actually going on, and gives you a straight recommendation — including telling you when repositioning and therapy will be enough on their own.

Who Needs This

  • Parents who noticed a flat spot and are not sure it matters
  • Families with a pediatrician referral for a head shape evaluation
  • Babies with torticollis or a strong head-turn preference
  • Parents wanting a second opinion on a helmet recommendation
  • Families comparing providers before starting treatment
  • Anyone who wants measurements now and a recheck in a month

How Treatment Works

  1. 01

    Book a time

    Call or send the form. We usually get families in within a week, at our office or at your home.

  2. 02

    Head shape exam

    We assess symmetry, ear alignment, forehead position, and neck range of motion.

  3. 03

    Measurements

    We record the numbers used to grade severity so future visits have a real baseline.

  4. 04

    Honest recommendation

    Helmet, repositioning, PT referral, or a simple recheck in four weeks — whatever the head shape actually calls for.

  5. 05

    Insurance check

    If a helmet makes sense, we verify your benefits and explain the cost before you commit.

  6. 06

    Next steps

    You leave knowing exactly what happens next, whether or not that involves us.

FAQs

Free Cranial Consultation FAQs

Is the consultation really free?

Yes. There is no charge and no obligation, whether or not you decide on treatment.

Do I need a referral?

Not to be seen by us. Insurance coverage for a helmet typically requires a physician order, and we help arrange it.

How long does it take?

Plan on about 30 minutes, including measurements and time for your questions.

What should I bring?

Any referral paperwork, your insurance card, and a list of questions. Feeding and changing supplies never hurt.

Can you come to us?

Yes. Home, daycare, or an existing doctor or therapy appointment all work.

What if my baby is too old for a helmet?

We will tell you plainly and explain what still helps at that age, rather than sell you a helmet that will not work.
