2 yo girl with bowed tibias neuro suggested pt and ortho won't xray or look at her cause supposedly it's not an ortho problem and pt suggests braces?

Get 2nd opinion: A simple evaluation by a pediatrician or a pediatric orthopedist (affiliated with a children's hospital) should clarify the issues.I believe akron has a children's hospital that may be close. Cincinnati also has one.
