Amputee Coffee Meetup!
Based on demand Bright Prosthetics kickstarted yet another way for amputees to gather and socialize monthly with other amputees. Our monthly Amputee Clinic participants wanted a pathway to get together more frequently and we decided why not gather over coffee and breakfast every month. One of our great success stories is a waitress and we meet at the diner where she works. The format is just be yourselves, interact with other amputees, share enlightening stories or talk about whatever.
We enjoy seeing all the BRIGHT smiling Amputees monthly on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays at our walking clinics and or our Coffee meetups. All amputees are welcome, our next Coffee meetups are planned for Sept 28th, Oct 26th, Nov 30th, and Dec 28th. If you are interested in attending please call the office for more details and we will save you a seat at the table.

Pickleball in the house: During our July amputee clinic we introduced our amputees to the fast growing game of Pickleball. We brought in a seasoned pickleball player (Jeff's 80-yo father who plays 4 days a week) to provide game oversight about how to play, rules, scoring and tips. We had 12 players of various amputation level and ability that participated in our large gait room. Most were new to racquet sports and were excited to have played. No one fell, nothing in the office was broken and everyone exceeded even their own expectations....most of all everyone played hard and there were many laughs! It was a pure joy to see our amputees have so much fun on a prosthesis that enables them to be so active.
Stay tuned because everyone had so much fun we are planning on more amputee pickleball events in the future.

Happy Anniversary to us because we have just surpassed being in our new location for one year and we continue to excel at taking great care of amputees from all corners of NE Ohio. Our new facility has worked out better than expected and offers us more space to take care of our amputees that need our care. Our somewhat unique and expansive gait room has been a great addition to our everyday prosthetic care and has really brought an new dynamic to our monthly amputee clinics as well.
Our new office has enabled us to build upon our already successful patient outcomes by developing unique prosthetic solutions for amputees who have been struggling with their care at other local or large providers. Our mission is to offer amputees unique prosthetics solutions when amputation occurs or prosthetic care elsewhere is not working. If you don't believe that Bright Prosthetics is different from the prosthetic norm then call us and we will connect you with one of our satisfied patients so you can hear their personal story and the difference that Bright Prosthetics has made for them.
Bright Prosthetics is a specialized prosthetic clinic and our office does not have that normal medical office look. We have a passion for providing quality prosthetic care and work hard to take care of our amputees. Our purpose is to do way more than simply provide an arm or a leg to someone and send it out the door, we will work to restore lost function as much as possible after an amputation.
If you feel you need a fresh start or simply need answers then use Bright Prosthetics as a resource because we are here to help, please give us a call.

We have just completed our move into our new clinic location and started seeing patients on September 3rd. We only moved 1.2 miles from our original clinic location but it has still been a long project. We required more clinical and lab space to keep with our mission of helping amputees succeed and to be able to offer more amputee specific events. Our business has grown rapidly from scratch during the first 5-1/2 years, our growth, and now our move has been made possible by our high patient satisfaction and prosthetic outcomes. As a prosthetics only provider, we are 100% focused on amputees and not distracted by providing shoes, orthotic or other care. We feel this is important because we care about our patient outcomes. Our new clinical space incorporates and offers an expansive 30'x30' fitting / training room that we will be using to help better our patient experiences. We will also be hosting our FREE monthly Amputee Walking Running Clinics and other special amputee related events in this new area. This is a area within the clinic where amputees can interact and learn from each other or enjoy a cup of coffee while we are doing our work in our in-house lab.
