Where Tradition & Technology Transform Lives

Patient Testimonials

Rick K has been an amputee since age 10. In this two-part video he shares his compelling story.
Here is Bailey’s story of the first 365 days of her recovery from her accident. This video was made by her and her friends and is a little over 10 minutes long. We post it here with her permission in hopes it will bring inspiration to our other patients.
Andre is wearing one of the most technically challenging orthotic devices to create, fit and learn to use. We are so happy to show you his progress.

I have an above knee amputation. I’m 89 years old and I use my prosthesis all day, every day. If I’m not a walking advertisement, there’s no such thing! I highly recommend these folks to anybody.

Sidney Greenberg, Cazenovia, NY

I’ve been to other facilities…You simply won’t find any place where they care more, are more up to date with new technology or try harder to improve the quality of your life.

Charles Barrus, Fulton, NY

I have been to several different prosthetic facilities. Syracuse Prosthetic Center is the most accommodating. I am very satisfied with the quality, knowledge and hospitality of this office. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of their service.

Meet Mitch, a below the knee amputee one year after his surgery.

I have been an amputee since 1973 due to an automobile/bike accident. I was on the bike and lost! I have been a patient of Syracuse Prosthetic Center since 1983 and they are the best prosthetists I have found. I have been to many prosthetists since losing my leg. I am now in the most comfortable socket I have ever worn. I am able to wear my prosthesis for 16 hours a day without discomfort. SPC is dedicated to satisfying patients and will adjust the socket until it fits comfortably with the rest of the components. They have a gift of aligning the socket which makes walking comfortable and smooth. SPC has given me a normal life that I am grateful for. When I am not working, I enjoy biking, hiking and canoeing. John, Gary and Sheila at Syracuse Prosthetic Center have earned my respect and friendship

Ron Hepler, Williamson, NY

I travel a lot around the country and the world, competing with other great athletes from all over. I want to feel comfortable and look good. I need a prosthetic company that is always there for me. Syracuse Prosthetic Center is always there for me. They take their performance as seriously as I take mine. They go out of their way to help and always give the best that technology can offer.

Meet Jenny, a below the knee amputee.

I don’t think I could overstate how much John, Gary and Sheila have done for me. People like them are rare. I can’t believe that I could receive better care anywhere. I hope that if you’re in need, you’re lucky enough to have them help you.

Ara Tadevossian, Syracuse, NY

I would like to express my deep appreciation to the three people of Syracuse Prosthetic Center, John, Gary and Sheila, for all that you have done for me over the past 25 years. You guys keep me walking comfortably and that’s a real challenge!
