The anaplastology services of Medical Art Prosthetics are increasingly in demand in the New York City, upstate New York, northern New Jersey, and Philadelphia areas.
Beginning in 1988 the highly respected ocularistry practice of James V. Strauss welcomed Greg Gion to their Rochester, NY practice to provide silicone orbital prosthetics. The successful relationship has provided many beautiful restorations comprised of ocular prostheses by the Strauss ocularists and the orbital restoration by Medical Art Prosthetics anaplastologists including Greg Gion, Jim Hogue, Maddie Singer and now Julia Schomberg. We continue our scheduled visits to provide all types of facial and extremity prostheses.
The Hackensack, NJ location established between Greg Gion, Shay Kilby and Robert Morin, MD now benefits from the expertise of anaplastologist Maddie Singer in her new location in Oradell, NJ. Medical Art Prosthetics has also been recruited to provide Head and Neck Prosthetics in conjunction with maxillofacial prosthodontists in the Philadelphia area. Demand for the services continues to grow in this densely populated part of the country.
