Do I have a choice in selecting a prosthetist?
You do have a choice. Most amputees have little time to prepare for losing a limb and find themselves numb with grief and feelings of isolation. Prosthetics is a medical specialty few people are acquainted with, including many health care professionals. However, there are many differences among practitioners, and amputees and their families need to take the time to gather information and learn about the many options available. In most cases, even if one prosthetist made you a preparatory artificial limb, you can select a different prosthetist to make your permanent prosthesis. ABC Prosthetics & Orthotics offers free, no-obligation evaluations to all amputees wishing to learn more about our facility.
