Services & Facilities
The orthotists and prosthetists at Westcoast Brace & Limb carefully evaluate each patient's needs paying special attention to his or her goals for recovery, lifestyle, occupation and limitations. We take the time to talk with our patients, and more importantly, we listen. Once armed with knowledge about a patient, our team of specialists develops the orthotic or prosthetic device that is best for that particular patient.

Patients may receive our services either at our facility or in hospitals and nursing homes. Home visits can also be arranged to accommodate special needs. We invite visitation to any Westcoast Brace & Limb (WCB&L) office for a free evaluation.
Inservices/Continuing Education
It also is our goal at WCB&L to provide a service to people working with orthotic and prosthetic patients through Inservices and Continuing Education Courses. Our practitioners can come to your place of business to further educate you about prosthetics and orthotics, or we can arrange for you to receive an inservice at our 18,000-sqaure-foot facility in North Tampa. During a visit to our facility, you'll be able to tour our fabrication lab and have an up-close look at the design and production of our orthotic and prosthetic devices. If you're looking for Continuing Education Units (CEUs), Westcoast is certified to give classes on a variety of topics for case managers, therapists, nurses and more.
We are also committed to providing a service to our patients and other amputees in the Tampa Bay area through Amputees Together, an amputee support group. |
