““In my 30 plus years as a prosthetist orthotist there have been many changes. It has been exciting to be apart of a profession that is constantly progressing with new techniques and lighter stronger materials. I strive to stay up to date with new technology so that you can receive ‘state of the art’ service in our rural community””
