I am co-teaching a pain class with Dr. Mich and watching her lecture on orthoses even as I write this email.  She so absolutely knows what she is doing, I would not consider anyone else, even if it were more convenient.

I spoke with Kel on a panel in Vegas at our professional prosthetics meeting

last September about animal prosthetics. He is a Certified Prosthetist. We

actually had 8 people on the panel talking about animal prosthetics. We are

growing! Other full time certified prosthetists working in the animal field:

Jim Aliamo, CPO, www.MyPetsBrace.com

Derrick Campana, CO, www.AnimalOrthoCare.com

Jeff , CPO, www.k-9orthotics.com

I personally am certified in prosthetics and orthotics, but choose not to do

prosthetics from a distance because the fit has to be so intimate so the skin

does not break down. It really takes a one on one touch. (Braces have more room

for fitting, I focus my business on bracing solutions)

If a prosthetist is truly " excellent " they will tell you it is best to have a

prosthetist fit a prosthesis in person. I would urge you to find someone local.

If you are in Vegas, I have a prosthetist friend that may be interested in

helping. I will contact him before throwing him on the fire

Hope this helps!
