• Independent Prosthetic Business Consultant

  • Nov 2022 - Present

  As a seasoned expert in the prosthetic industry, I specialize in providing consulting services for business development, operations, process flow and marketing for prosthetic practices and manufacturers. My unique perspective as a congenital amputee and my expertise in the field allows me to understand the needs of both providers and patients. I believe that a patient-focused approach is key to organically growing business success. I understand the challenges that prosthetic practices face in moderating work-in-progress meetings and obtaining proper medical necessity documentation. This is why I assist practices in crafting a comprehensive and cohesive approach to patient support throughout their prosthetic journey. I specialize in streamlining processes and implementing efficient methods for documentation acquisition, to help practices provide a consistent and exceptional level of care for patients, resulting in a seamless and positive experience. I am passionate about promoting patient-focused thinking and empowering patients to take an active role in their healthcare. This is why I offer virtual meetings and in-person public speaking opportunities, to share my expertise and promote the importance of a patient-centered approach. I am committed to providing the necessary support to organizations and helping them achieve their goals, whether it's improving their business strategies, developing effective processes, or better understanding the needs of patients.
