Brittney is an ABC-certified prosthetist/orthotist, upper limb specialist and regional myopro specialist for Hanger Clinic in the Greenville, South Carolina area.
Brittney provides specialized care for patients of all ages, focusing on those with upper extremity limb loss and paralysis. Her practice is grounded in compassionate, patient-centered care, tailored to each individual’s unique needs, circumstances, and personality. Building meaningful connections and meeting patients where they are in life form the foundation of her approach.
As a regional specialist in the MyoPro myoelectric arm orthosis, Brittney empowers patients with paralysis to regain movement and independence. Her work supports individuals recovering from strokes, brachial plexus injuries, spinal cord injuries, traumatic accidents, and congenital disorders. This innovative technology restores functionality to patients who might otherwise lack the use of their arms.
Brittney also offers prosthetic solutions for a wide range of limb loss levels, from digit and wrist to transradial, transhumeral, shoulder disarticulation, and forequarter amputations. She works with both unilateral and complex bilateral or quadrilateral cases, providing comprehensive care and expertise.
To ensure her patients have access to the latest advancements in prosthetic and orthotic technology, Brittney actively participates in research projects and attends national and international conferences. She also connects her patients to Hanger Clinic support groups, fostering a sense of community and shared experience during their recovery journey.
Collaboration is integral to Brittney’s care philosophy. She works closely with physicians and therapists to deliver a multidisciplinary approach, aiming for the best possible outcomes for her patients. As a trusted partner in their healing journeys, she provides education and guidance to help them navigate the complexities of prosthetic and orthotic devices with confidence.
Brittney completed a two-year residency program at Hanger Clinic locations in New Jersey and Connecticut. Her residency was uniquely tailored to enhance her expertise in working with upper extremity amputees, which remains a focus of her practice.
Outside of work, Brittney enjoys taking her rescue dog “Coco” to the park, going to the local farmers markers, working on perfecting her bread making skills, creating pottery for her kitchen, listening to podcasts, dancing, and being outside.
