G.R.E. Prosthetics & Orthotics
At
G.R.E. O&P, the key word is "specialist". Accelerated research and
development is responsible for hundreds of different prosthetic and
orthotic components. It is our practitioner's job to stay current
with the distinguishing aspects of each. As a vital member of
the allied health care team, our practitioners perform a valuable
service to patients, physicians, and ancillary care providers throughout
the rehabilitation process.
The Certified Orthotist is a licensed
professional who evaluates, designs, and fits braces for those needing
protective support or correction due to muscle/bone impairment, disease
or deformity. Our orthotists work to restore mobility and to
prevent or limit disability.
The Certified Prosthetist is a licensed
professional who evaluates, designs, and fits artificial limbs.
Our prosthetists work very closely with patients who have amputations
due to accidents, congenital birth problems or disabling diseases.
Qualified
laboratory technicians work with the orthotist/prosthetist in the
fabrication of the devices. When the custom design is complete,
the practitioner gives instruction on its use and care.
Most
devices are covered by major medical insurance plans. G.R.E. O&P
participates in numerous insurance networks. Check with our
staff for verification of insurance benefits.
