Thomas (Tom) is a licensed, ABC-certified prosthetist/orthotist with nearly a decade of experience. He provides orthotic management for spinal, lower, and upper extremity conditions for patients 4 months old through more than 100 years old. He also serves as the Upper Extremity Prosthetics Specialist for the Cincinnati area, and provides cranial asymmetry treatment as well as fitting the Walkaide functional electrical stimulation device.
Tom enjoys working with patients, their families, and other healthcare team members to find the optimal solution for each patient. In the case of cranial asymmetry patients, seeing the cranial shape progress both visually and in the measurements is exciting for everyone involved, and having the opportunity to interact with babies nearly every day is always a plus.
