Please understand that the Amputee Coalition cannot and does not make specific recommendations for products or services/ but can only suggest possible sources/ with no endorsement implied.
The Amputee Coalition, therefore, does not maintain a list of prosthetists. The following websites can help you find prosthetists and O&P facilities near you. You can then contact these professionals to ask about their experience and specialties in order to make the most informed selection of a provider based on your individual needs.
Prosthetist Finder
The Amputee Coalition partnered with OP Solutions to build the Prosthetist Finder which is a searchable directory of prosthetists located across the country. Finding a prosthetist that fits your needs is easier than you think. Search for prosthetists in your area by level of experience, credentials, preferred hours, or Spanish fluency.

Amputee Coalition Member Directory
Facilities listed in this directory are members of the Amputee Coalition. The corporations, facilities, and hospitals listed have a commitment to patient education. An interactive map will help you find Facility Members of the Amputee Coalition located near you. Not all search results using this tool will be prosthetists’ offices; some will be rehabilitation centers, hospitals, or prosthetic manufacturers, but all have demonstrated their commitment to the limb loss community by becoming members of the Amputee Coalition.
