We are a locally owned orthotic and prosthetic company specializing in providing highly advanced prosthetic and orthotic care for people in the Puget South Sound area. Patients that come to Washington O&P can expect to be welcomed with a smile and treated as family. Whether you require a single visit for the fitting of a brace for an injury or require ongoing care for life, we are here for you.
Philosophy of Care
Today, amputees and the physically challenged are benefitting from new advancements in O&P and accomplishing amazing things. Using the latest technologies, procedures and materials, we are dedicated to providing patients with the highest level of O&P care available.
Fitting the Individual
To provide the absolute best care, we believe technology must be accompanied by an expert Prosthetist/Orthotist who can apply these technologies to the right person on an individualized basis. Understanding our patient’s needs can only be achieved by providing individualized O&P care.
When welcoming new patients at Washington O&P, an in-depth evaluation of their overall health and mobility including their sound side is performed. Patients and their families can expect to be educated on their condition and related O&P treatment options.
Along with educating patients and their families about what we do, we listen to our patients. We listen to how they feel about their limb loss or physical challenge. We listen to their fears. We listen to their expectations for a prosthetic or orthotic fitting and their hope for the future. After understanding our patient’s specific goals, we will carefully explain what can be done to make their goals a reality.
At Washington O&P we pledge to treat every person who visits us as an individual versus simply a recipient of prosthetic limb or orthopedic device.
Care for Life
Patients that come to Washington O&P can expect to be welcomed with a smile and treated as family. Whether you require a single visit for the fitting of a brace for an injury or require routine services for life, we are here for you. We are committed to taking care of our patients in a special way so that they may maximize their mobility and enjoy their life.
