Ponseti treatment (for talipes) at Evelina London - reviews?

Hi mums!
I am based in London (UK) and my baby girl has been diagnosed with bilateral talipes on the 20th week scan.
We have been introduced to the Ponseti treatment and have now a clear idea of what we would need to do when the baby is born.
I know that in London the most recognised hospital for this treatment is the Chelsea hospital.
However, we are being followed at the St Thomas hospital and they told us that even there, specifically at the Evelina (Pediatric department), they use the Ponseti treatment.
Anyone has ever been followed at the Evelina hospital in London for the treatment of bilateral talipes? Looking for experiences/reviews of the place.
Thanks mums!

My DS was treated by Denise at C&W 16 years ago, but I found the charity Steps very helpful. I think they still have a database of parents who you can be put in touch with so maybe they can connect you with Evelina parents? Also, you can ask to be seen at C&W if that is what you prefer, we did by patient choice.

It's a very treatable condition, and I have to remind myself that my DS even went through it all, he is completely fine and never had an issue with either the treatment or since then. Wishing you lots of luck
