About Percision Prosthetics

Precision Prosthetics, Inc. was started by Edward G. (Skip) Martin in 1987. The company is owned and operated as a family business by him and his wife Karen.

A motorcycle accident in 1971 during his senior year, resulted in a below-knee amputation which focused his interest into prosthetics. Martin received his Prosthetic degree in 1973 at Northwestern Medical University in Chicago, Illinois. This in turn directed his goal towards creating unique prosthetic designs that provide ultimate comfort and function for himself and each of his patients.

Martin quotes "Loss of a limb has to be one of the most difficult ordeals for any human to mentally and physically accept. Immediately following amputation, patients suffer from pain, grief, and a lack of understanding of what the future holds for them. At this critical time, it is necessary for an empathetic prosthetist to express a genuine concern toward the amputee in order to develop a trust which will guide the way to their mental and physical rehabilitation."

Martin and his staff believe their constant support of positive attitudes has resulted in the continuing growth of their patients contentment. Precision Prosthetics, Inc. has grown from a one man operation to a six person company, built by word of mouth from satisfied patient referrals. The staff currently employs two full service Prosthetist: Martin, and Anthony Elliott; three prosthetic technicians: Calvin Shaw, Tim Skorupa, and Zack Martin; Office Manager: Maureen Hodge; Vice President: Karen Martin. Tim has been a patient of Skip's and through their friendship and devotion to help amputees, Tim now became part of the family. Each practitioner takes a part in understanding their patient's lifestyle so that they can offer their own exclusive quality of care and unique workmanship.

A patient of Precision Prosthetics has available any design for upper or lower extremity with combined experience of the personnel dating back over 50 years. Anything from an electronic fore-quarter arm prosthesis, to a specially designed partial foot prosthesis can be fabricated on site.

Standard Prosthetics at Precision are more technologically advanced in design than the usual-and-customary limbs normally received. A recent design discovery, became a standard way prosthetics are fitted at Precision increasing the comfort level and long term, high activity wearability of the prosthesis.
