This page is for the professional working with  upper-extremity amputees.
 
For Consulting , Prosthesis Training, Emotional support , Daily living training and everything in between. I have 11 years experience and together we can help  obtain independence.
 
 

I believe my 11 years of experience in the industry will help you answer all of your questions and take care of all of your patients needs. 

You as a professional are such a vital part of an amputee's life and we value your time and commitment.
You have been well trained and are able to teach so much to so many, but, there are going to be patients that no matter how much training you have you are not going to be able to help them become totally independent. Whether it is an emotional issue or issue with the prosthetics. Sometimes you just won't have the answer. I will. I understand how the prosthetic devices work as well as the components of the devices, their uses and their limitations and how to overcome every possible obstacle a patient will have. I know this from "hands-on" experience. I can counsel and  mentor your patient. I had some of the best Doctors, OTs and PTs in the country, but without them being a amputee they were unable to give me what I needed. For 11 years I have mastered all aspects of daily living, child care, yard care, personal hygiene, cooking, dressing (including tying my shoes) all without special devices. This is a very small list of things to be totally independent. But it gives you a idea of what I can do for you and your patient.  

The ultimate goal is to see the patient have total independence. But we must also think about the business side of things. I understand the cost of having a consultant or specialist is not pleasant, but if you can provide the upmost  care for your patient there loyalty will not only financially take care of itself, but you will have a edge over others in the industry. whether you are CPO, PT, OT, work in a small office or large Rehab center, People will look to you knowing you have their best intrest in mind and that you will do what you need to make the patient independent.
Its not a costly desicion. Its the only decision to make.  For the patient and for your continued success of your business.
If a Patient finds happiness with there rehabilitation,  there loyalty to the Company will  financialy take care of itself.  Having a consultant or a specialist work with your Rehabilitation Center is good bussiness. Your Bussiness is going to be what people recommend , because of the services you and I can offer together.
Thats just Smart business.
 

Many of the services I offer require specific information to identify the needs of the patients .
