PWOP’s Story

While Albert Garney, CPO, founder of Prince William Orthotics and Prosthetics,  was working as the clinic manager for orthotics and prosthetics, at Georgetown University Hospital for the Limb Salvage team of Dr. Christopher Attinger and Dr. Paul Cooper, He came aware of the difficulties patients were having in Prince William County trying to obtain orthotic and prosthetic devices.  Since he lived in the county and he was aware of all the orthotic and prosthetic providers in the DC Metro area, He knew there were no providers that had a facility for this community.  I approached the orthopedic department at Prince William Hospital to discuss the matter and found that they too were having difficulties referring patients to orthotic and prosthetic providers because there was none in the county.  Within a 30 minute meeting, Prince William Hospital and their orthopedic department were endorsing Prince William Orthotics and Prosthetics to open a comprehensive orthotic and prosthetic facility in their surgery center.

Since we opened in November of 2007, we accept most of the major insurance carriers. Our greatest amounts of referrals come from the physicians at Prince William Hospital and Potomac Hospital but our network of referring physicians are constantly growing.  Prince William Orthotics and Prosthetic is the only orthotic and prosthetic facility in Prince William County but service the entire Northern Virginia area.  We are accredited with the American Board of Certification for Orthotics, Prosthetics and Pedorthics (ABC) and are active members of the Virginia Orthotics and Prosthetic Association (VOPA).

Rare prosthetics knowledge – The prosthetics knowledge that Albert Garney has is in-depth and hands-on. Since it takes years of education and work experience to obtain those skills, it is a unique strength that cannot easily be copied.  Albert Garney’s training began with Otto Bock HealthCare, a leader in the orthotic and prosthetic industry.

In-house fabrication – The fact that Prince William Orthotics and Prosthetics, LLC has such knowledgeable staff working in the lab is a considerable advantage for clients. Prescription criteria and device specification do not get mishandled because we do not send out patient projects to central fabricators.   This knowledge and experience base means more accurately orthotic and prosthetic fittings and in less time.  In this industry, quality is the most important factor, by providing in house fabrication quality of the orthotic and prosthetic devices are in our control and not a central fabricator.  The clinical staff at Prince William Orthotics and Prosthetics, LLC, personally supervises each project from evaluation, to design concept, to mold modifications and finally to the finished product.
