Dicky de Best - our prosthetic expert

A prosthetic expert, also known as a prosthetist, is a healthcare professional who specializes in the design, fabrication, fitting, and customization of prosthetic limbs. A patient who has experienced limb loss or limb absence due to various reasons, such as amputation, congenital limb differences, or trauma, needs the best possible help to regain function and mobility.

Dicky de Best has experienced limb loss for herself. She is therefore trained in evaluating the unique needs and goals of each individual patient and developing customized prosthetic solutions to meet those needs. She works closely with patients, rehabilitation professionals and our surgical team to provide comprehensive care and support throughout the prosthetic fitting and adjustment process
