The practice was established in 1993 and has been operating as a sole proprietorship since August 1999. There are two practices, one in Cape Road, Port Elizabeth, and the other one at the Mercantile Hospital in Port Elizabeth.
I completed my studies at the Tshwane University of Technology where I obtained a National Diploma in 1992. I was one of the first 9 orthotists/prosthetists in South Africa to obtain a BTech degree in 2004 when the diploma course was changed to a degree course.
Our passion for the industry has evolved to include animals and we have made several braces and prosthetics for a wide variety of animals.
