The Next Step Difference
• The Next Step difference
• Reputation for expert fittings
• High satisfaction, comfort and quality

"Next Step has always been thorough, compassionate and understanding of the difficulties an agressive amputee encounters in daily life."

The Next
Step difference
Welcome to Next Step Orthotics & Prosthetics, Inc., where our clients
come first. You can feel the difference as soon as you come in our door,
as people greet you warmly and are genuinely pleased to see you.
We understand how
the big national prosthetic firms operate, because we've worked for them
and didn't care for their get-them-in-and-out, bottom-line-focus. Before
you choose Next Step, we invite you to visit other prosthetic facilities
so you can see the difference. We want you to be comfortable with your
decision.

Reputation
for expert fittings
Next Step is a practitioner-owned and operated company based in New England.
With a reputation for personalized care and high-quality orthotic and
prosthetic services, clients seek us out from across the U.S. and the
world.
Our expert fitting techniques allow us to successfully fit many amputees who have not achieved a comfortable fit elsewhere. This is why many of our clients are referred to us by other amputees.
At Next Step, we treat
you the way we want to be treated, with care and respect. We listen to
your goals, value your ideas and encourage you to be involved in the fitting
process.

High
satisfaction, comfort and quality
Fittings, alignments and gait adjustments are customized, not only to
your specific functional needs, but are performed until you attain the
highest level of satisfaction and comfort possible.
With a state-of-the-art
fabrication lab on site, we maintain a higher level of quality control
and much faster turnaround times. We can even perform cosmetic finishing
or repairs while you wait.
