This educational web site is dedicated to health care providers and parents seeking to learn the facts (and avoid the fiction) about deformational cranial flattening. I created this web site to combat the misinformation spun by an ever-rising number of uninformed “experts” and opportunistic fear-mongers who play on parent emotion and confusion to profit from“flat head syndrome”. The following information combines a critical synopsis of the published literature with over 15 years of personal experience managing thousands of patients with this diagnosis. Herein you will find my practical, evidence-based approach to this common, yet widely misunderstood, condition. It is my sincere hope that this information allows parents everywhere to properly frame the issues associated with this diagnosis as well as providing common-sense guidance for intervention when appropriate. I welcome your comments about my site, the content, or the subject matter, and look forward to your questions.

Sincerely and best, Gary
