Traveling families
Traveling for ear molding treatment
Families sometimes travel to Dallas–Fort Worth for an evaluation. Because treatment includes follow-up visits over several weeks, it helps to plan ahead. Our team will talk through a schedule with you before treatment begins.
Choosing an office when you travel
Choose the office that is easiest to reach from your route: Dallas is central, Southlake is close to DFW International Airport and the western Metroplex, and McKinney serves the northern suburbs. Our team can suggest the best fit.
Planning follow-up visits
Ask at the evaluation how often follow-up visits will be needed for your baby and whether visits can be grouped around your travel. Before you commit, make sure the schedule is realistic for your family.
Travel tips with a newborn
- Allow extra time for feeding and diaper stops.
- Use a properly installed rear-facing car seat for every journey.
- Keep care instructions and our number handy during treatment.
- If your baby is due for routine pediatric visits, keep your pediatrician informed.
Staying overnight
If you plan to stay nearby, choose accommodation that suits a newborn, with space to feed and settle. Our team can tell you which office you will visit so you can plan around it.
