Appointment #1:

When you make your first visit to our office, the practitioner with which you are working will appraise and measure, possibly taking a cast mold. If casting is done, it would consist of using a plaster or fiberglass wrap, which is removed after it hardens. While casting may be delayed until a later visit, if applicable, a prefabricated device may be supplied at this appointment.

Appointment #2:

Prior to the second visit, if a cast was taken, the cast will be used for fabricating a custom device. At this appointment, the practitioner will evaluate the fit of a trial or final device. For a typical orthotic device, the appliance is provided at this time. With prosthetic devices, more appointments are necessary for fittings and modifications.

Follow Up Appointments:

Recurring visits may be required to preserve a prosthesis proper fit and function. For a new amputee, as a result of atrophy to the residual limb, a replacement socket is typically needed approximately six months after the original fitting

We understand the services we provide are essential for a patient’s daily functioning and mobility. When adjustments and repairs are needed, we work with you to resolve concerns quickly and with minimal disruption. Our staff is on call offering 24-hour emergency service.
