Our dedicated health care providers bring a wealth of expertise, professionalism, and empathy to every patient interaction
At First Steps Prosthetics and Orthotics, we believe that empathy drives exceptional care.
Patient-Centered Care that focuses on enhancing our patient's physiological and mental well-being. We provide in office or at home visits.
Our patients always come first.
As a small locally run health care facility out of the Rowlett Texas area, we have the ability to put our patients first and truly meet their orthopedic needs. We understand the hardship that comes with orthopedic impairments, and we would like to get our patients back up on their feet as soon as possible. Some of the ways we can do this is by offering transparency and accurate timelines on when an orthosis or prosthesis will be received. We also provide continual follow ups to our patient’s to ensure they are not feeling rejected during the interim process of getting their device. First Steps Prosthetics & Orthotics also demonstrates their commitment to their patients by offering competitive private pay options as well as payment plans.
