- What will treatment look like for my child?
- Will my child need physical therapy?
- Will the treatment process be painful for my child? If so, how can I help with pain management?

- What does follow-up care involve?
- Will this injury impact my child’s future growth or mobility in any way?
- What if the provider I want my child to see does not have any openings for several months?
- Will I still be seen if I do not have a referral?
- If my child is a return patient and we need to have x-rays taken prior to the appointment, do we go straight to outpatient radiology?
