techniques in a patient friendly environment. This allows
the practitioners to spend more time with the patients and
truly understand their challenges. In 2003 the practice moved
to its current 10,000 square foot facility on Round Rock
West Drive and now serves over 7000 patients from one of
the finest Orthotic and Prosthetic facilities in the state.
