<p>To much of my surprise, the local orthodontist said he knew no one in LA. Couldn’t he have consulted with a professional organization for a name closer to USC? My husband went to USC dental in person during move in. USC does not want the liability of an orthodontal case started by someone else. The attitude of our local orthodontist is once our son left his practice last week before move in, he is no longer on his case. I thought of flying our son back and forth, but his schedule is such that he only has Friday afternoons off. If he had all of Friday or all of Monday off, then we could consider flying back and forth. I can’t tell you how upset I am over this matter. We will give our son the money for zipcar, but he is not yet 18 and does not have his full drivers license yet. Our state takes a long time to give a full drivers license which you need to rent zip car.</p>
