Amputee Patient Area

The Amputee & Prosthetic Center’s driving force is to meet all needs of the amputee patient. We don’t just provide a prosthetic device; we address the medical, physical and emotional needs of the patient.Our full service amputee patient care program was created in response to the frustration often faced by  amputees and their family members. Our prosthetic providers have learned to listen to the needs of the amputee and we are constantly seeking ways to improve an already superior level of complete care.  Give us the opportunity to show you how much we care.

A Peer Visitor is an amputee that can truly understand and relate to the challenges and fears of our amputee patients.  The Amputee and Prosthetic Center offers a team of amputee Peer Visitors just like you.  From teenagers to patients in their 80’s, men and women of all activity levels are available to talk to amputees or those who may be facing the possibility of amputation.  Whether you are have lost both of your legs or one arm, we have an amputee peer visitor that can relate to you and discuss what it’s like to be an amputee, from first-hand knowledge. Read More

Meet our patient advocates! The role of a prosthetic advocate is to facilitate communication between the amputee and their healthcare team. An overwhelming majority of amputee patients have told us that the  most pressing need is not to be fitted with a prosthetic leg or prosthetic arm, but to be heard by all health care providers, whether it's their physician, nurse or prosthetist. Prosthetic Coordinators have been trained to assist amputees throughout all phases of their care. Read More
