Patient care is Our Mission

"We noticed that many amputee patients had the same complaint."
 

The Problem

Amputee patients often felt as if they were rushed through an "assembly line of care," involving several medical professionals in various settings. Amputee Patients were often left to their own devices in coping with life as an amputee. No one took the time to listen to the patient's needs and answer their questions.
 

The Solution

The Amputee and Prosthetic Center figuratively and literally holds the amputee patient's hand and guides them through the process of coping with the loss of a limb, and receiving and living with a prosthetic device.
 

 

 

 

Our Goal

"The Amputee Center program was developed throughout the years as a direct result of an intensive study of the needs of amputees. This unique program addresses all of the needs of the amputee patient, not just the provision of a prosthetic device."

From the initial consultation with the patient advocate to the annual follow-up appointment with the prosthetist, the Amputee Center program was designed to offer the highest quality of care for the amputee patient.
