Eric Oertel is the finest prosthetic technician you will ever come across. He's extremely patient and caring and accommodating to his patients. My dad is 91 years old, and he has been an amputee for over 70 years. He has been going to Oertel Orthopedics for close to 40 years. Due to my dad's age, his stump has been shrinking. This has always presented a challenge in keeping my dad in a properly fitted prosthetic leg. when the leg no longer was working for my dad, we thought oh no what are we going to do, if he becomes immobile, he will need 24hour supervision. we went in to see Eric, he realized that this style prosthesis was no longer an option, stating something radical must be done. for the time being he prescribed a Tez belt, to temporarily hold the prosthesis on to my dad, just to buy us time while he tried to come up with and worked on a new system. Two days later, Eric called me and was very excited. He wanted me to bring my dad in, as he thinks he had come up with something that would work. He had thought outside the box and come up with a 2-sleeve gel liner set up with a locking pin that just might work. Fast forward from the time i brought my dad in pretty much incapacitated, to 4 weeks later and a new futuristic prosthetic leg has become a reality. From crippling, dire outlook to holy crap, Eric has performed a miracle. My family are grateful for all Eric and his entire has done for my dad, if it wasn't for them, he'd be a dead issue and would not be able to enjoy his still active lifestyle. Hell, no B.S. Hes walking better now than he has in the past 30 years. So, if you need of a prosthetic device, and want to work with the best technician there is, then do yourself a favor and call Eric at Oertel Orthopedics in Union New Jersey. They care, treat everyone with dignity and respect and you leave there with the highest quality prosthetic device, which you can trust, and get back to the normalcy and quality of life yo to deserve... Thank You again Eric and the entire staff at Oertel Orthopedics. you gave my dad's life back. God Bless You All
