What Makes Us Different?
Surgical Techniques
Since 2006, Amputee Associates has advocated for improved surgical techniques. We believe the surgery is at least as important as the prosthesis given to the patient.Learn More Here
Care Coordination

Clinical Prosthetist
Amputee Associates has redefined the role of clinical prosthetist by broadening their scope of practice through involvement in surgery, wound care, and rehabilitation planning.Learn More Here
