BK prosthesis – Testimonies

“I lost my leg in a motorcycle accident in 1998. Living in Paris, France I was never fit with a prosthesis that I could tolerate wearing. I was referred to Tyra by a surgeon and flew out to California to meet with him. I was immediately impressed by his professionalism and engaging manner. Once I made the decision to work with Tyra I really came to appreciate both his understanding of amputees as well as his knowledge of the products and then those which would best suit my needs. As with all things in life this is a process and we learn by doing. Tyra learns and teaches well with his clients and that keeps me coming back as well as his on going efforts to not only get it right but to always improve. Tyra immediately helped me to start putting my life back together when he fit me with my first comfortable and properly fitting prosthesis. Had it not been for Tyra I could not be doing today what I used to do and that is walking, dancing, and hiking.

Thank you Tyra and the entire staff.

“BKA here. I switched Prosthetist because I was not feeling the love. About 6 months ago, someone recommended Tyra and boy am I glad I found Tyra. As I met with him for the first time, he went over a lot of options and suggestions on what could work best for me. He will spend all the time it takes to explain things to you and will answer all your questions thoroughly. Working with Tyra made me realized the world of difference it makes when dealing with a person that has a lot of experience in this field. Every issue I was having with my device he knew exactly what to do to make it feel better.

It’s a small office of about 3 staff members, and when you get there for the first time you feel as if you’ve been going there for a long time. Right away you feel the love. The staff is always super friendly helpful and accommodating.

I highly recommend anyone with a prosthetic to schedule a consultation with Tyra. I am confident that he will fit his expertise on your specific need.

Thank you for your continued help and support Tyra, Jessica and Tanja!”

I am very proud to submit this recommendation for the team at Innovative Prosthetic Solutions. I have been their client for over a year now. They are fantastic. Very well qualified. Were recommended to me by my hospital. And were very welcoming from the very beginning. They have been very responsive to my needs and have taken the time to work with me and listen to me. I can easily say that I would not be walking now were it not for them. Plus, Tyra, Jessica, and Tania are just great people. Feel like I am visiting a friend when I go there.

From the moment I met Jessica, while in the hospital after a lower limb amputation, I felt as though I was in good hands.  During my first office visit at IPS I was very nervous and didn’t know what to expect.  Tonya was so welcoming and Jessica and Tyra were very patient, Compassionate and caring!!  They explained the process  necessary to fit me for a prothesis and made me feel at ease.  I can’t thank them enough for everything they’ve done!   Two prothesis later I feel like I can now begin walking again!   THANK YOU Tyra, Jessica and Tonya for giving me another chance at walking!  You guys are the best!!

IPS SMOs – testimonies

“After putting the device in her shoes, my daughter was walking straighter!”

“I turned my foot inwards as I walked and once I received the orthotic devices, I had immediate relief. I walked without pain and with my foot straight.”

“I spent 12 hours on my feet decorating my Christmas tree while wearing my new IPS SMOs. I was able to decorate my Christmas tree all on the same day using them. In the past, it would have taken 3-5 days to decorate as I would be limited in how long I could stand. Now my feet feel great! Thank you Tyra, I have a new lease on life.”

“The custom SMO orthotic device provided by Innovative Prosthetic Solutions has changed my life. About 10 years ago, I was diagnosed with partially torn tendon in my right ankle. I was told that there was no cure other than a very complex surgery with very long recovery. My doctor advised me that surgery should be the last resort. I tried all kids of orthotics and walking boots with little result. About two years ago, a new orthopedic doctor prescribed a custom SMO orthotic device. Thanks to IPS, I am now able to play tennis, ski, and walk for miles without any pain. It took about a month to get used to the device, but now I don’t know that its there and most importantly, no pain!
Highly recommend IPS.”

IPS carbon AFO – testimony

“My wife immediately noticed a huge improvement and difference in the way I was walking and standing” E.W.

 


My first appointment was today, and I am so happy I found them!  Honestly, I Googled to find a good Prosthetic Orthotist, after a bad experience with another locally, and went based on great patient reviews. I have worked in the medical field most of my life, and have never met such a group of nice, knowledgeable, and dedicated medical professionals! As a patient, myself, I have never experienced such true caring and eagerness to help. Tanja, the Office Manager, is so welcoming and friendly, from the first phone call onward, that she feels like a long-time friend. Tyra, the Certified Prosthetic Orthotist, is exceptionally patient and experienced, with a true passion for his work. Jessica, his Assistant, is sweet and a creative thinker, and they are a superb team. Tyra and Jessica both told me this is not a job for them, rather a rewarding feeling to be able to brainstorm and come up with ideas that change and better the lives of people. Wow, when do you ever hear that from your doctors?? We get our metered 15 minute visits, and then are dismissed. Not here! Tyra and Jessica treated me like I was the only person in the world and spent all the time I needed to try on leg braces, then made a mold of my leg to custom design their own unique brace to help me walk again after failed Achilles rupture repair. Tyra also fit me for a very comforting back brace, since I suffer from 2 failed back surgeries, and he watched me struggle to try to walk with both a bum back and a bum leg. Jessica was tossing suggestions to Tyra, telling me how much fun she has helping people, and she quickly made a perfect cast mold of my leg. Tanja will work tirelessly to get the tedious insurance paperwork done, and still give you a warm smile. I could go on and on, and I will, I will post again at my next visit when my leg brace is ready! I wish I had found these people a long time ago, but am glad I found them at all, they incredibly rare. I feel hope for the first time, today, thank you IPS!
