Evergreen Prosthetics
Whether you, or a loved one, has experienced or are potentially facing surgical amputation you are in the right spot. At Evergreen Prosthetics & Orthotics we are committed to fitting our patients with prosthetic devices which best suit their lifestyle and future goals. Each individual has unique needs regarding function, durability, comfort and appearance of a prosthesis and our mission is to work directly with our patients and their team of medical professionals to fulfill these needs.
We encourage all those facing potential amputation to schedule a preoperative consultation with one of our skilled practitioners, the earlier you begin working with a prosthetist, the better your outcome will be as a prosthetic user. If you are ready to schedule that appointment please go to our locations page to find a location nearest you.
There are two types of Amputees that Evergreen specializes in: Above the Knee or “AK” and Below the Knee or “BK”. Although recovery for an “AK” patient is similar to that of a “BK” patient, there are still a few minor things that seperate them. For a more detailed look into prosthetics please take a look at some of the items we have listed below for your convenience.
