Personal stories

We are only happy, when you are

"What I find a huge advantage of this method is the speed with which it works. In one day my prosthesis was ready and I could walk with it. I live on Vlieland and have to travel quite a bit to visit the instrument workshop. It is therefore wonderful if those visits are limited and you can walk out the door in 1 day with a new prosthesis that fits well."

"It turned out that I had leukemia and efforts were made to save my legs using various treatments. However, it ultimately became clear that saving my left leg was not feasible. After many issues with my previous prosthesis provider, I requested a second opinion at De Hoogstraat Orthopedics/Protec. Finally, I am in the right place."

"I have a complex condition, with open wounds on my shins and it’s a journey to figure out how to manage that. At Protec, they think along with me and help me find solutions."
