Providing expert and compassionate care in addressing the individual needs of every patient, and supporting each patient's personal goals for lifestyle and activity level
At Pros-Tech, our patients are our first priority. We believe that fabricating a prosthetic or orthotic device is only the beginning. So, we are dedicated to meeting the individual needs of every patient, on every level. We begin with post-surgery consultation, to determine the goals and needs of our clients. We work together with patients, physicians and therapists in the hospital, in clinics, in our office, and even at home in some cases. We support our clients throughout the rehabilitation process, with fittings and preparatory limbs. We will make adjustments for optimum patient comfort and activity level. Then, we fabricate a custom prosthetic or orthotic device for permanent use, taking functionality and appearance into consideration. We will monitor every device throughout its life, for ongoing maintenance and adjustments.
Pros-Tech provides an outstanding level of patient education. We take the time to explain every aspect of the prosthetic or orthotic process, and answer questions from patients and their families. Our comfortable, friendly atmosphere encourages patients to support and educate each other through personal experience either in the waiting room, or in conversations with patients who volunteer to help new amputees get adjusted. We have amputees on staff who can provide a unique perspective from both sides of the process.
When you are taking care of a medical issue, payment is not something you want to worry about. Our knowledgeable billing professionals are experts, and can answer all your payment and insurance questions. We offer payment plans to meet every budget. We accept major credit cards.
At Pros-Tech, we believe in listening to the patients, and talking through the process of recovery and rehabilitation and beyond. We foster a positive approach to prosthetics, because in many cases, an amputation is a life-altering procedure. So, we help patients adjust to their new limbs through consistent contact, and by involving our patients' families for additional support. Because at Pros-Tech, we understand that people are what make technology and medicine work.
Therapy and rehabilitation are crucial to helping patients reach their activity level goals. Pros-Tech supports therapists through on-site evaluation and adjustment in clinics, hospitals, and nursing homes-and we will even make calls to home-bound patients. Our highly-trained clinicians work with the patient, therapist and health care team at every stage of the process, from post-operative management to creating elaborate definitive devices. We will continue supporting the patient well beyond the completion of rehabilitation.
We are dedicated to assisting with the rehabilitation process, by providing the devices that help patients reach their desired activity level efficiently. We practice positive reinforcement by developing strong relationships with our patients. We maintain ongoing communication with clients and therapists, including consultations and independent evaluations.
Our staff of prosthetists and orthotists is certified by the American Board for Certification in Orthotics and Prosthetics, and must satisfy all the Board's mandatory continuing education requirements. Our staff also receives ongoing education in the latest technology and developments in the field. Pros-Tech is affiliated with area hospitals and universities, and members of the staff frequently perform educational lectures-including sessions with therapists and physicians.
We encourage therapists to visit our facility, and learn more about our capabilities.
Physicians choose Pros-Tech because they want their patients to benefit from advanced technology with a personal touch. We are not only specialists in fabrication with our complete on-site production lab and skilled fabricators but, we are also committed to a long-term relationship with the patient and the entire health care team.
Since we see ourselves as an integral part of a patient's well-being, Pros-Tech's clinicians are always available to work with physicians, therapists and patients. We will provide consultation and evaluation during all stages of the process for patients suffering from vascular indeficiency, diabetes and trauma care. Our services include pre- and post-surgery management at the hospital, attending rehabilitation clinics, and performing ongoing follow-up throughout the patient's lifetime. We will also send regular status reports to physicians as required.
We service and maintain all devices we fit and fabricate. We will work with patients to get them back in action quickly. We fabricate preparatory devices within three days or 24 hours, if necessary. Our goal is to help patients resume their pre-injury activity level, while considering cost and insurance requirements.

At Pros-Tech, we understand that prosthetic and orthotic services can be expensive. We are experts in balancing the needs of the patient with the requirements of the managed care organization. We can put together the optimum combination of materials and components that satisfy the medical and lifestyle requirements of the patient, while meeting managed care cost and eligibility considerations.
We are conscientious about every patient's well-being, security and protection, because the patients come first. Whenever possible, we can utilize pre-existing components or preserve working components when replacing a prosthesis, for cost-effective solutions.
