Mission Statement

To develop a complete network between patients, physicians, rehabilitation specialists, prosthetic & orthotic professionals and the community.  This network will allow us to meet the ever-changing challenges presented in today's healthcare industry.  It will provide a unique, professional work environment for all employees, and enhance patient and staff education and quality of care, while providing state-of-the-art technology to those in need.

Our History

ABC Prosthetics & Orthotics, Inc. became a reality in 1998, when practitioner/owner Scott Saunders left his position with a national prosthetic and orthotic company to pursue his own vision.  This vision involved Scott's desire to continue providing the prosthetic and orthotic services he was trained and certified to perform, while focusing on quality patient care, rather than increasing sales numbers.  In the current revenue-driven industry of healthcare, Scott found himself discouraged with the options facing patients today in need of prosthetic and orthotic services.  It was then he decided to venture out on his own, to provide the same ethical and moral standards that every patient deserves.  

It was Scott's dream to not only provide quality patient care, but to also expand his practice into as many locations as possible for the convenience of all of his patients.  The first office of ABC Prosthetics & Orthotics, Inc. opened in June of 1998 in downtown Orlando, Florida, however it was less than a year later that he opened the Altamonte Springs office.  Today, ABC Prosthetics & Orthotics has over 25 employees and has opened 3 office locations covering 8 counties, providing service to all Central Florida Hospitals.  In the first five years since their opening, ABC Prosthetics & Orthotics has become Central Florida's largest privately owned provider in the industry.   

Our Future

ABC Prosthetics & Orthotics strives to stay current on the newest breakthroughs in technology and treatment.  In 2001, they purchased the TracerCAD system which has improved accuracy of fittings, accelerated delivery time, and increased patients' comfort level. For more information about the TracerCAD system, click here.

ABC Prosthetics & Orthotics wishes to promote public awareness and education by providing resources to the community.  They participate in and/or sponsor many charity events including Playing for Time (Breast Cancer Research), Arthritis Foundation, Champions for Children (Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children & Women), Brain Injury Rehabilitation Center, Ronald McDonald House, and many others. 

It is the future goal of ABC Prosthetics & Orthotics to develop an educational center for both individuals who are in need of prosthetic and orthotic services, and for those currently in or wishing to enter the professional industry.  Continuing education and public awareness are the necessary ingredients to maintaining and strengthening the integrity and professionalism of our O&P industry.
