| | | POA Client Testimonials | | Cheryl D. (Quadrilateral Amputee) - Washington DC
"We made it safely back to DC but Paul didn't let me drive because I drive too slowly for him. It would have taken an extra hour with me behind the wheel. I am thrilled with my 'Blades.' They allow me to cover more ground faster. They're not as comfortable as the Echelons but they're more rewarding. It's also easier to go up the stairs although I haven't learned how to do it step over step yet. I walked 3.29 miles with my girlfriend yesterday, stopping only twice. I find I walk much further when I am with someone than when I walk alone. I'll have to do something about that. I'll send you a video when I start running. Thank you for everything. I'll keep you posted on my progress."
Ed G. (AK) - Canada
"We have just returned home after spending the month of March in Rome and London. I am delighted to report that we were able to go back to our old haunts and have a great time. I did not think that we would be able to travel as we did before, but your suspension system turned out to be the best option for me. I had more mobility than I thought was possible, given my predicament.
We are glad that we decided to choose POA, even though it was a bit of a hike from Canada. Once again, let me say how much we appreciated the high quality of expertise and service that we received at POA.
We are dreaming of going to HOn Kong and Africa next year."
Merry M. (AK) - Rockville, MD
"I was fit with this system directly after surgery (6 weeks post-op) in February 2007. Since then I have had no bruising or discomfort and my socket is so comfortable! My life is incredibly rich and full. I am a teacher, school administrator, swimmer, gardener, and ‘nanny’ two days a week to my little granddaughters."
Mark Daignault (BK) - Deltona, FL
"For 26 years I suffered pain and sores, only able to walk short distances with a cane before sitting down to rest. All that time I believed that this agony was an amputee’s way of life. Now I can play 18, 27, 36 holes of golf without effort and am ready to go right back out and play again."
Frank B. (BK) - Edgewater, FL
"I've been to over 10 different prosthetic companies and I was never fit with a leg I could walk in for more than 2 hours. Now I can go all day. The POA staff is the greatest!"
Dianne G. (AK) - LaPlata , MD
"I made an appointment with POA in July 2008. I had to see if this system was different and if it could change my life. Since that time, I can honestly say that I have not had a single sore or blister. This system has done wonders for the condition of my skin and my ability to wear my prosthesis for extended periods!"
Jordan Thomas (Bilateral-BK) - Chattanooga, TN
"I absolutely love my NPS system that Stan and the rest of POA have provided me with. They have truly enabled me to live a life full of boundless opportunities!"
Scout Bassett (AK) - Palm Desert, CA
“Thank you so much for all that you have done for me. I appreciate your kindness, generosity and your caring. You have done more than I could ever ask for. Thank you for helping me with my sports. I have learned so much from you.”
Susi Bassett (Scout’s mother)
“People are always asking me how our trip to Florida went and was it “successful” in terms of improving Scout’s prosthesis. I tell them we’ve accomplished all that can be done for her, she has a better fit, loves the new leg, they treat us like family, and most important of all I know that everyone at POA cares deeply for my daughter, personally and medically. What more could a parent ask for? Once again, you’ve changed my daughter’s life for the better and we’ve come home with smiles on our faces! Thank you so much for how passionate you all are in helping people have better lives.”
George Vicknair (father of POA patient Brittany Vicknair) - Louisiana
"We arrived in Orlando hoping to find what every amputee is looking for - being able to live a normal life without the pain she was experiencing. Well, I have to tell you, it's better than that! Britt gets along as well as she did before her illness, including running! Life is great in the Vicknair family these days, and we have many angels to thank."
Richie Drew (Bilateral AK) - Orlando, FL
“Thanks for helping me get back on my feet and believing in me when others would not. I always believed that one day I would walk without my cane or crutches, and now it’s becoming a reality! Stan has always been passionate about what he does, and I believe if anyone is going to help me achieve my goal of independent walking, he is.”
Valerie Petta (AK) - Ontario, Canada
"Thank you for all you are doing for me and for all your patients. You are allowing us to be the best we can be! We can never thank Stan Patterson and his dedicated and loyal staff enough for all they have done. If I can dream it up, they will find a way to make it happen. Yoga, dancing, walking the beach, romping with the grandchildren and dog are again a part of everyday living. Also, this summer, I look forward to paddling my first kayak out into Georgian Bay. Not too shabby for a senior citizen, eh?”
BettyAnn McHenry (mother of Clint McHenry) - New Smyrna Beach, FL
"For the first time in many years, I see in Clint's face no more life debilitating pain, but pure joy for life. Now he is a happy, loving, ambitious, caring and responsible person who is living on his own once again, enjoying his work servicing and restoring Citroens and Maseratis along with finding a most wonderful girlfriend. All that, you are partly responsible for, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts."
