<p>FWIW, my son had braces with an orhodontist at home. I don’t think he ever had to see an orthodontist while at school (maybe once, it’s been a while) but I remember something about our local orthodontist connecting us with someone in the school area who practiced the same variety of orthodontics, in case he needed care while at school.</p>
<p>My son also got arthroscopic knee surgery while away at BS! He injured his knee at school and saw a doctor there who recommended the surgery. I wanted a second opinion so arranged for him to see someone while home on break. However there was not time to schedule the surgery at home during break. So he had outpatient surgery at school, spent a couple nights in the infirmary, and was good to go. The school was great and took care of all the details.</p>
