At Fisher Building orthotics.
The same place that made my first leg braces in 1980. I've never gone anywhere else. Many of the former staff there watched me grow from a child into an adult.

Orthotics, Prosthetics & Seating

The Queen Alexandra for Orthotics, Prosthetics and Seating helps people of all ages overcome physical disabilities and mobility challenges.

My excellent orthotist now is the same one who has been looking after my mobility aid needs for the past 15 years. I was one of her first clients when she started working here. I've watched her mature & she's had two children since we first met. I always feel safe with her. She's also Asian (family from mainland China) & always masks up at work 😷❤️✌️

Stephanie, my trusted & excellent orthotist at Fisher Building, fixed both of my leg braces today. This is the left AFO - added foot cushioning & two new straps were put on to replace older ones that weren't holding up. My right AFO had specialty heel airhole cushioning & back of ankle padding added & I had her replace the top thigh strap too.

She has put in a funding assistance form for one specialty brace for my lower left leg to deal with some floppy foot & pain related issues when I try to sleep. Hopefully I get full funding assistance because orthotics are hella expensive to pay out of pocket for.
