What to Expect
![]()
Patients can schedule an appointment with the orthotics team for a consultation after they’ve received a prescription or referral from a physician.
Consultation
At the first appointment, our team will ask questions and perform a brief clinical evaluation to assess the functional needs of your child. Once we’ve determined the best device to meet your child’s goals, we’ll contact your insurance provider to determine your coverage and obtain pre-authorization if necessary.
Evaluation
Once coverage is verified and pre-authorization obtained, we’ll schedule a full evaluation with your child. It is here where custom measurements, or a cast will be taken of your child to ensure optimal fit and function of your child’s new device. Most devices are custom made by our team onsite, a process that may take 2-3 weeks.
Pick-up
After the brace is made, patients come in for a fitting to ensure it’s the correct size and comfortable.
Follow-up
Follow-up is an important part of orthotic management. Your child’s brace may need to be periodically checked and adjusted due to growth and/or progress.
