The confidence that people enjoy knowing their facial prosthesis is secure and virtually undetectable is the greatest gift we can offer. This also holds true for those wearing our custom lifelike finger, hand, foot or other durable silicone prosthesis.
We have dedicated our talent and training as clinical anaplastologists to delivering successful outcomes for forty years! Our love of this challenge and our reputation for exceptional results and innovation has earned us the support of many returning clients and referring physicians. The colorful seal celebrates a special dedication to anaplastology.
The Growth of Medical Art Prosthetics
The original MAP practice was established as an unassuming sole proprietorship of medical artist Gregory Gion in Dallas, Texas in 1985. Surgeons performing ablative procedures embraced the prosthetic results for their patients and a loyal referral base was formed. The new practice model, disruptive in some ways, proved to be a valuable service for North Texas and much of the sunbelt. Durable prosthetic hands and feet became a complementary service to meet demand for highly detailed silicone restorations.
A second MAP practice was established in 2005 in Madison, Wisconsin, the hometown of the founder. The new specialty anaplastology facility also succeeded as a sustainable practice, alongside traditional medical- and dental- based services throughout Wisconsin and the Midwest.
Advancing independent anaplastology is central to our mission, yet MAP has also established craniofacial prosthetics services for Northwestern Memorial Hospital (IL), University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (TX), and Loyola University Medical Center (IL). In the 1990s an educational website was launched so physicians and prospective patients could view samples to better understand the key concepts and techniques that impact prosthetic results.
We feel it is serendipitous if not miraculous that 7 talented individuals have come together to form a national anaplastology network operating today in 7 states. Our mission continues; to deliver patients successful prosthetic outcomes in relaxed personalized locations closer to their home.
