What patients say"We will be forever grateful for your scoliosis brace custom designed to Justin's body. The customized design to fit his specific curve makes total sense."
Justine D. Mountain View, CA "Thank you, Grant, for always being so patient with Alexa and always making "one more adjustment" ten more times until she was satisfied with the fit of her brace. The time and attention you gave her made her compliance (and awesome results) possible." Dani F. Syosset, NY
