You may contact a prosthetist as soon as possible, and you can begin by asking for referrals from your team of medical professionals. For exceptional care, the practitioner and facility you choose should be certified and accredited by the American Board for Certification in Orthotics, Prosthetics, & Pedorthics (ABC).
