As an amputee of over 15 years, and having worked with a number of prosthetists, I have found that excellent communication is essential to having a comfortable and reliable prosthetic. You should plan on your prosthetist having a long-term relationship with you.
Losing a limb is a shocking experience. Your whole world changes, your future is forever altered. Fortunately, I found an experienced prosthetist in Marc Karn with Coastal Carolina Surgical Associates. Marc listened to my concerns and invariably devised creative solutions to suit my needs. I know I am not his only patient, but it sure seems like I am when I go to see him.
