Bilateral Above Knee Limb Loss
After 19 years, it feels like it was yesterday when I first arrived at Dream Team Prosthetics. They helped me walk again and live a life without any limitations. I want to thank my prosthetist, Chad Simpson, and his wife, Brandy Simpson, who have always provided the right guidance to help me move forward. I also want to give a special thanks to Randy Richardson, who has consistently followed up on my case and helped me achieve my goals.
Thank you to the entire team at Dream Team Prosthetics for your excellence, dedication and humanity. You not only create prosthetics, but you also transform live and bring hope. I wish you many more years of success, impacting and improving the lives of so many people as you have done with mine.

Son Matt has Bilateral Above Knee Limb Loss
This past week we were able to attend the 2024 Bilateral Life Camp at Dream Team Prosthetics in Duncan, Oklahoma and wow! I am so glad we did! Matt did an awesome job and put in a lot of hard work to progress into being more independent. We met so many amazing people that gave him motivation and was able to show us that he can live a normal life. Thanks to Dream Team Prosthetics! And all of our new friends! We cannot wait to see each and every one of you next year!!!!

I'm only a unilateral above knee amputee, but I can understand why the bilateral community comes to Chad Simpson, Clinical Director, Dream Team Prosthetics. He is the best. He has been my prosthetist for more than 20 years and he is the best!

Best decision was to take our son to Bilateral Life Camp. Life changing! We drive from New Mexico for my son's prosthetic care. No one compares to the quality, caring professionals at Dream Team Prosthetics!

Last week marked the start of a new chapter. It is amazing what an upgrade in technology (coupled with the proper alignment, programming and socket fit) can do for your quality of life. Now it's time for the hard work in order to become proficient with the knees in everyday life and to be able to utilize them to their full potential.
For those in the prosthetic world, you know the insurance battle that ensues when attempting to get Geniums. I'm grateful beyond words to have gotten these approved and to Dream Team Prosthetics for the optimal setup and coaching!

The care that I have received from Chad Simpson since my injury has always been top notch. He has always had my best interest in mind; he never took the quick and easy route, and has always done what is best for me. Not only does he give amazing care, he is also friendly and personable. Now whenever I have an appointment with him it feels like I’m talking to a friend rather than a healthcare provider.

Prior to meeting these guys I thought being a part time prosthetics user was the norm. Honestly it took me a while to get on the same page as them because I set my mind up that a wheelchair will be my life. Once I got on board I ditched the wheelchair and dedicated myself to be a full-time prosthetics user. I now can walk distance which I felt was impossible to walk. The best thing and the reason why I travel hundreds of miles (rather than go down the street to my local prosthetic company) to Dream Team Prosthetics is the way they align my sockets which allows me to walk down ramps, curbs, and walk fluidly. I highly suggest if you are a bilateral above knee amputee...GIVE THEM A TRY.

Bilateral Above Knee Limb Loss
In 2013 I became a bilateral above knee amputee from a car accident. I wanted to go back to my life before my accident. So I searched on the internet for other bilateral above knee amputees, and I found many. Some decided to give up and sit on a wheelchair for the rest of their lifes, others were walking, but using canes, crutches, or walkers, and they were walking part time only, and then I found many that were doing just great walking, running, driving without any assistant device, so that made me just happy. I knew that it was possible for me too. I started to talk with these amputees and I asked them what was the key of their success. They all had something in common, the greatest more experience prosthetist not only in USA but worldwide, as many of his patients come from many countries to the USA for him. His name is Chad Simpson. At that moment I knew that I had to do everything to go with him.
After two years of fighting with my insurance I was finally approved to go to Duncan, Oklahoma and get my new set of sockets and prosthetics with Chad. When I got to his brand new clinic, Dream Team Prosthetics, I was treated like family even though I went to see Chad in Duncan, Oklahoma from Queens, New York, Chad and the rest of the staff members of the clinic made me feel like home. Chad fitted me perfectly with my new direct skin fit sockets and C-leg 4 knees. He was very patience and answered every question I had in mind. I could see why he is the best prosthetist in the world, now I'm walking on my new sockets that feel like a part of my body. Thank you Chad Simpson for being the best for us bilateral above knee amputees.

Bilateral Above Knee / Above Elbow Limb Loss
As a tri-lateral amputee (both legs above the knee, right arm above the elbow) life can be pretty challenging especially trying to hold down a job and raise three children & those challenges can be made that bit more difficult if you are confined to a wheelchair but thankfully thats not the case for me thanks to Dream Team Prosthetics and the incredible dedication & expert craftsmanship of Head Prosthetist Chad Simpson. I'll keep my review short as I really want people to read it and take note but in essence since being treated by Chad and trained/mentored by the rest of the guys at Dream Team Prosthetics I am now a full time prosthetic user, an athlete, I have a full time job, I take zero medication, there are no adaptations in my home & no adaptations in my car. Because of the help they have given me I am fully independent and LOVING LIFE. The guys at Dream Team Prosthetics go way beyond just making you sockets and sending you on your way, but even if that was all that they did do, it would still have changed my life for the better. Oh and one more thing, I travel all the way from the UK just to get Chad to make my sockets. Thank you Chad, thank you Dream Team Prosthetics.

I struggled to achieve a successful socket fit with the first two prosthetists that I saw. I wanted to maintain a high level of activity playing sports and running, but my sockets always held me back, causing me skin breakdown. I now trust my prosthetic care to Chad Simpson and Dream Team Prosthetics. I can run in 5K and 10K events without ever having to stop and adjust my sockets.
