Our highly-skilled technicians utilize the finest in components and materials to produce the best in prosthetic and orthotic devices. Turnaround times, which only a few years ago would have been laughed at in any respectable O&P facility, are now met with a “business as usual” attitude.
If the quality of our materials, service and speed isn’t enough . . . then consider this: O&P1 may actually be cheaper than having a device fabricated in-house.
Dennis Clark serves as president of Orthotics & Prosthetics One. He is responsible for promoting personal and professional growth for all employees and clients of O&P1.
Clark understands the number one goal of O&P1 is to do the best for the people they serve. "By listening to the goals and objectives of our clients we are able to create systems to help them achieve their ultimate goal, helping there patients," Clark said. This conviction, along with many volunteer appointments striving to elevate the profession has led Clark to be awarded the Distinguished Practitioner Award in 2003 from the American Academy of Orthotists and Prosthetists.
Clark has had a successful career in the orthotics and prosthetics field. In 1987, he purchased Dale Clark Prosthetics where he served as President/CEO for ten years. Prior to becoming president, he served as a staff orthotist at the practice owned and operated by his father from 1978 to 1987. From 1977 to 1978 he taught at Northwestern University in the Orthotics and Prosthetics Program.
Clark completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Iowa. He is a graduate of the orthotics and prosthetics program at Northwestern University and is certified by the American Board for Certification in Orthotics and Prosthetics in both prosthetics and orthotics.
