Our Facility
Progressive O&P has on-site parking and is fully wheelchair-accessible.
Easily Accessible by Long Island Rail Road and Bus
Located at 516 Mineola Avenue in Carle Place, NY, Progressive O&P is easy to get to by car or rail. Our rear parking lot faces the LIRR’s Carle Place station. Bus stations are located along Cherry Lane, a few hundred yards from our office.
Reception Area
We have a comfortable reception area for our patients’ use. Our helpful staff will greet you and are available to discuss any concerns you may have regarding insurance coverage. Often, the reception area becomes an important part of the new amputee’s learning experience, as they meet other patients and amputees -- lively discussions have been known to form on occasion!
Gait Area
We have two areas specifically for gait (walking) observation; this is where prosthetic and orthotic devices are aligned, or adjusted, so that the patient walks as smoothly as possible. One room has parallel bars for initial trials of prostheses and supported walking, and we have a large open space for walking with or without assistive devices. In the rear of our facility we have ramps and stairs for advanced prosthesis users to learn ascending and descending skills.
Casting Area
One of the most important steps in having a prosthesis or orthosis made for you is the casting. Using plaster of paris, the practitioner will take a detailed mold of your limb, residual limb, or other body segment. In the laboratory, this negative mold will then be filled with plaster of paris to create a positive mold.
Comfortable Fitting Rooms
We have three comfortable air-conditioned fitting rooms, all wheelchair-accessible, for the various procedures involved in fitting an orthosis or prosthesis. Each room has enough space for caregivers or family members – after all, patients tend to do better when they have the support of their family – and Progressive O&P strongly supports family involvement in our patients’ care.
Wheelchair-accessible Restrooms
Our restroom has plenty of room for wheelchairs and healthcare aides.
State-of-the-art, On-site Laboratory
Progressive O&P’s on-site laboratory allows our ABC-certified practitioners to supervise every aspect of the fabrication and design of 
our prosthetic and orthotic devices. This ensures that every device Progressive O&P provides to our patients is optimized for fit and function and is made to the highest standards of quality. The practitioner who evaluated and casted a particular patient modifies all casts for that patient; this highly personal approach to patient care is standard procedure at Progressive O&P. Our highly trained technical staff prides themselves on their top-quality craftsmanship and skill. Another reason why an on-site laboratory is so important is that most orthoses or prostheses will need some adjustments during their lifetime.
