Gene Bond
When I lost my leg I had no idea where to turn. I assumed the rest of my life would be spent in a wheelchair. After my surgery I found AP&O in the phone book and went to their Athens office and met Jim and Josh. What convinced me to work with them on getting my leg was the honesty in their communication. I lost my leg due to diabetes and had complications in healing such that it took me a year to get my prosthetic leg. Jim kept telling me it was going to be fine and to be patient. He and Josh helped me keep a positive attitude. After a year I finally received my leg and that was the day I knew I was going to be alright just like Jim said I would.

When an unexpected blood clot caused me to lose my leg, Atlanta Prosthetics and Orthotics was there for me from the beginning. When I say that the staff of AP&O is like family, I don't just mean it as an expression, I mean it from the heart. They understood my important goals of getting back to a normal life and enjoying my lengthy walks. Even though I have met my goals, they continue to be inspiring, helpful, and encouraging in ways that constantly take me aback.
