Here at Premier we keep limb-different Barbies & Kens in our office to show our younger patients. Our patient Joe love these dolls so much that our staff took the time to alter a Ken doll to look exactly like him! How sweet is this picture of Joe with his look-alike Ken doll?!
Life Goes On Spotlight Series
This week we’re highlighting Bernice. Bernice has been Greg’s patient since April 2020, after her right below knee amputation. Bernice was excited to be able to get back to her normal life, to babysit her grandchildren, shop, and maintain her home.
Our initial evaluation process includes one on one discussions with the patient, to understand your desires, motivators, and medical needs.
All patients will have their own unique and personalized prosthesis process depending on how the loss of limb occurred.

Our Wednesday Spotlight is on Liana. We met her when she was just two years old, and have fitted all of her prosthetics to this day! We always make sure she has a perfect fit, so that she can comfortably do what she’s passionate about—gymnastics!

Out pets are our family. They are our children, siblings— our furbabies! We know it can be traumatizing to see your pet hurt, and scary wondering if they’ll be able to live a happy life. You’re not alone.
