PATIENTS

At OPC I was treated like a person, being on a first name status with most of the staff. Orthotic & Prosthetic Centers went out of their way to take time and customize the look and feel of my prosthesis. My insurance paperwork was frustrating. The staff at OPC patiently helped me get all the required medical and insurance documents filled out and submitted. Another thing that has been great about Orthotic and Prosthetic Centers are the events. We often meet for amputee group or public outings.

While undergoing rehab, I was visited by an amputee with a backwards foot as a knee, he even brought me steak! As I learned how an amputee can overcome disabilities I was encouraged by O&P Centers and their staff. Even when I quit on myself they didn’t quit on me. Now I’m at the Center for Emerging Technologies studying in an engineering program full-time. I have a left below-knee amputation and a right above knee amputation and I can walk through any terrain!

I have been an amputee for a little over a year. OPC has been responsible for my prosthetic needs throughout this period. Prior to my surgery I met with Ty Wilson, OPC’s Patient Advocate who provided valuable information about what I should expect. From the day of my surgery Michael Weiss, my Prosthetist, took care of all my prosthetic needs. I highly recommend OPC, Michael and Ty to any amputee or prospective amputee

My brother wound up needing his left leg amputated below the knee in a hurry. Diabetic and lots of complications over the years. OPC has given him and our family hope! Brandon I met while visiting for the surgery day and following week. I never thought I’d see my brother walk again or even care to live. But this amazing group of people have stayed with him all along through all the different facilities he’s been in last 3 months and I got to see a little video of him taking first steps on new leg! Being so far away in Vermont, I’m thankful this group is there for my brother. Thank you!!!

OPC has changed my life. Everyone has been so nice and understanding. When Brandon came over he was so kind and caring explaining everything. Also Ty came over and explained some of how the prosthesis works. I then met Tyler who has been amazing and so helpful. I can’t thank OPC enough for what they’ve done for me.

The entire staff at OPC is amazing! Everyone has a welcoming smile and they treat you like you’re their favorite patient. They made me the most beautiful leg and I get compliments on it daily! They have even smoothed out my limp! Anne and Henry inspired me to go into the O&P practitioner field and I hope to do my residency here when I graduate in May!
