Lower Limb Prosthetics
We know that you have a lot of options when it comes to picking a prosthetist. This decision we do not take lightly because you will need a prosthesis for the rest of your life. The team at Prosthetic and Orthotic Associates want to be the ones to help meet your needs as they change throughout your lifetime.
Every patient comes in with different individual goals and priorities when it comes to a prosthesis. A person who wants to get back to running every day will need a different type of prosthesis than someone who works in high heels. We are here to show you what your options are so that you can take part in the decision-making process. We provide outstanding patient care by listening to our patients needs and concerns. You will understand the process and be part of a tight knit community who you can trust will help you to get to the life you desire.
