Most prosthetics clinics are staffed by competent clinicians whose careers will continue elsewhere. The relationship you build resets when they leave.
Manifest is different. Paula and Gordon co-founded this practice and lead it daily. Bob, Loi, and Dr. Gómez bring lifetimes of clinical, surgical, and engineering depth to every case. When you come back for an adjustment in five years, the same people are still here.
