The mission of Arise Orthotics & Prosthetics is to provide the best comprehensive patient care using the highest quality fabrication techniques and componentry. As we assist our patients in achieving their goals during and after the rehabilitative process, we are committed to providing the highest standard of care through personal service, clinical experience, and patient education. We believe that on-site fabrication is important when providing comprehensive management to the patient requiring custom orthotic or prosthetic management. As a result, we have added a 900 square foot state of the art fabrication facility to allow us to maintain quality and attention to detail.
