From there she was on to Chicago to attend NUPOC a branch of Northwestern University specializing in orthotics and prosthetics. She has experience working with patients from 6 weeks to 106 years old. After working for several other orthotic companies Sal decided to branch out and open her own in 2009.

They both have similar approaches to direct patient care, and always strive to go above and beyond for each and every patient. Sal enjoys traveling and exploring as much of this earth as possible.
