Founded in 2012, Peter Harsch Prosthetics takes pride in providing highly individualized prosthetic care and outstanding patient outcomes. Committed to providing the best fit, we specialize in complex cases, advanced prosthetic technologies, and a single goal of 100% patient satisfaction. Peter has dedicated his life’s work to helping amputees and has developed an engineer’s understanding of the design of modern prostheses. Pairing prostheses to individuals requires a hands-on approach to patient care, defined by relentless fine-tuning, an artist’s eye for form, and an environment in which patients are comfortable with staff and support each other.
In April 2022, Peter Harsch Prosthetics joined Ottobock Patient Care. Already known for its worldwide excellence in prosthetic technology and quality patient care, Ottobock entered the patient care market in North America through strategic partnership with select best-in-class patient care providers throughout the United States. This collaboration will support Peter Harsch Prosthetics and Ottobock’s shared vision to advance innovation, improve access to care, and most importantly deliver the best possible patient care experiences.
You deserve care that puts you first and helps you get back to being you. We are here to help you gain the mobility and confidence you need to live an active life.
