Plagiocephaly (Flat Head Syndrome)

Our entire journey from the initial consultation (we were very apprehensive at the time) to the final appointment, was filled with mixed emotions but overall we were treated with such care and understanding throughout, guided by Agi who was always available if we had any urgent questions. For example when it was hot and my son just refused to wear the helmet as it was causing him to sweat profusely- Agi chatted us through such issues giving us clear step by step guidance. Most importantly of all, our son loved his check-ups and always giggled when he was examined! He adapted very quickly to the helmet (he was 4 months old at the time of fitting) and had no issues with it except during the hotter summer months. Helmet was worn from April until August. If you are considering having a helmet fitted, we would say go for the initial consultation and if the asymmetry is obvious to the eye then go for it. We were sceptical about proceeding with the helmet purely due to the fact it was for aesthetic reasons only and felt bad that he would have to sleep in it. But we did not want our son, when older, to ask us why we could have fixed his head shape. He would have had issues wearing bike helmets; hats and even glasses as his ears were misaligned - he had 14mm asymmetry. This glimpse into his future erased any doubts we had. There is also the issue of strangers do not know or understand so be prepared for staring eyes! You’ll quickly ignore like we did so please don’t give their ignorance a second thought! 

Assessment for Acquired Head & Skull Deformity

I am extremely grateful to Agi and Mr. Philip Stenhouse for giving me the opportunity to take my baby to be assessed. They were both very professional and so kind. After being in 2 other clinics, I was still very worried about my baby’s head so I decided I needed a third opinion. Since the very first moment I spoke with Agi on the phone to book the appointment I knew my baby was going to be in good hands - Agi is not only a great professional but also an amazing human being, that truly cares for people. Thank you so much Agi and Mr. Stenhouse for all you’ve done to help us. I couldn’t recommend head4babies enough! 

Mr. Philip Stenhouse was absolutely incredible, extremely professional and very kind with us. He made us feel at ease since the first moment and answered all my questions in a very calm manner - that was very much appreciated as I was feeling quite anxious. I am forever grateful to have had the opportunity to take my baby to be seen by Mr. Philip Stenhouse.
