did you ask her if she uses the Ponseti method?

If she does, then she's probably fine.

It can be difficult when dealing with parents to know how much the parent knows, and it is far safer to assume they know nothing, than to assume they know everything. Unless you are a paediatric orthopaedic surgeon yourself, then it is unlikely that you know everything about the condition, even if you have researched it. The internet is unregulated, and there is a lot of unreliable information out there

this is a good place to start.
