I went in knowing nothing about the process of getting a prosthetic but Maddie explained every detail, showed me why an how she did her magic. This prosthetic ear is the best I could have asked for!

Alvin B. Texas
On February 15, 2004, I was in an automobile with my cousin. I was the passenger and had fallen asleep at the time the driver lost control of the vehicle. The accident happened in East Texas where I had been attending two funerals on the day before. I was thrown out of the vehicle through some small trees and one of the limbs snatched my right ear off.
Buzz B. – South Carolina
I just wanted to let you know that my first week with the ear prosthetic has been wonderful! The fit and look is flawless! My morning routine only takes a few minutes, But the real positive result is in the freedom it gives me, I no longer have to be concerned about where I sit in a restaurant, I no longer worry about first impressions meeting new friends and clients.
Testimonials Ear Prosthetics
Billy; Our Microtia Patient from Pennsylvania
“We are very happy with Billy’s new ear. Friends and family couldn’t believe how it matches his right ear perfectly. We see a confidence in Billy that we have never seen before. People do not stare anymore. This means the world to us. Billy says that he is very happy. Thanks for all you have done.â€
Mother of Billy, Pennsylvania
William previously wore an adhesive retained ear prosthesis from another type of prosthetics company. His new craniofacial surgeon, Dr. Matt Conquest, contacted anaplastologist Greg Gion for guidance in ordering and placing the implant fixtures in Pennsylvannia. This was another interstate surgical-prosthetic collaboration between anaplastologist, implant surgeon, and craniofacial implant company field representative.
“Mason has really warmed to his prosthesis. He now asks to wear his prosthesis at all times†Steven W. (Illinois)

“I’m sorry I haven’t sent pictures of Georgia’s beautiful ear! She left for college just a couple of weeks after we saw you in San Jose….And said she’s happy to be on your website, the ear communities’ or any publication you see fit or helpful to others. If we/she needs to sign a waiver please let us know.
It’s been a huge gift to be free of worry around complications or struggles with her ear. I cannot express our gratitude. Honest.
Thanks so much Greg.â€

“I have received many favorable comments on the appearance of my new ear prosthesis! You did a great job! I may contact you next Spring to make another one†Lynn B. (Illinois)

Henry; Our Auricular Prosthesis Client Using Maximagnet Retention
“Dear Greg, I just wanted to add a personal ‘thank you’ to all the good you do for me. Notwithstanding the billing you deserve for taking care of me (and presumably all your other patients) the very personal & concerned manner in which you treat me every time we’ve met is invaluable. There is a HUGE psychological component to all this. Having an ear that fits seamlessly and painlessly (and therefore that I can pretend is my own ear) is very precious to me. Thank you.”

“People are amazed at the work you have done, and unless someone knows I had lost my ear they would never be able to tell. Even those that do know I have a prosthetic ear cannot tell which one is realâ€.
Michael H. (Wisconsin)
