"My experience with PTI has been nothing but great. Eric and his staff have been both attentive and accommodating. With their help and that of my new WalkAide, I have pep in my step again." —Michele Dandurand
"PTI has been a lifesaver for me. I was sent there when I was in serious trouble with my condition called Ehlers Danlos. My tibia, fibula and patella were suddenly not holding in place. Eric immediately had me come in and carefully devised a brace that would keep me safe until the problem could be corrected surgically.
"I have always been treated with respect by all members of PTI. Kelly, in the office, always helped me with questions and connecting me with Eric if things were not working. Dennis filled in if help was needed and Eric was out.
"Thanks to the expertise, kindness and efficiency of PTI, I was fitted with two braces that achieved the goal.
"I will always be grateful for the help I received. It meant a lot to have people at PTI take my condition seriously and ease me into the shock of having to wear the braces. They made the transition into becoming much more disabled more pleasant than I could imagine." —Ellen Smith
"In my four years of doing business with PTI, I have received prompt, individual, courteous service for my diabetic footwear needs." —Jim Malloy
"It's a pleasure to tell the world how satisfied my husband and I are with the service you provide and your readiness to solve any and all problems that may arise.
"My husband also is thrilled with the products he purchased from you, the special socks are the most comfortable that he has ever worn, and the shoes too.
"And since my stroke, you have served me in my need as a stroke survivor. I would highly recommend PTI to anyone and everyone." —Evelyn Brush
