Yes. A physician's approval/prescription will ensure proper treatment of your
physical condition. An initial consultation with us does not require a prescription.
Call or email us pre and/or post operative, to tour our facility, meet our staff,
and discuss some of the different options. We’re here to help.
Your doctor makes that decision. Evaluations and consultations are
always done free of charge, and do not require a prescription. We do require
a prescription from a medical doctor to begin fabricating a prosthesis.
We’re happy to furnish names and contact information from our clients who
are happy to share their Monroe Orthotics and Prosthetics experience with you.
Yes. Our practitioners are ABC certified. We attend numerous national
meetings and seminars on advances in the field of prosthetics.
Yes, you do. Even if one prosthetist made your initial artificial limb, you can
select a different prosthetist to make your permanent prosthesis. Please call or
email for an appointment.
Call our office for an appointment and in most cases the adjustment
can be done while you wait.
