Bulow BioTech Prosthetics Brings Military Prosthetic Care Experience to Civilian Amputees
Center for the Intrepid’s Kirk Simendinger, CP to Open New Bulow Clinic in San Antonio, TX
San Antonio, TX (Oct. 6, 2011)--Bulow BioTech Prosthetics, a group of national destination clinics focused on providing the highest level of prosthetics-only care and technology, is proud to announce its new location in San Antonio, TX, run by Kirk Simendinger, CP. Simendinger comes to Bulow after spending his last five years working at the US Military’s Center for the Intrepid (CFI), also in San Antonio, which is recognized as one of the world’s most technologically advanced rehab centers.
“The technology and best practices being used at the CFI are unmatched by any other national facility,” says Bulow BioTech Prosthetics founder Matthew Bulow, CP. “The prosthetic care knowledge and experience that Simendinger brings will directly benefit all of Bulow’s new and existing patients.”
“The CFI will always be this country’s best destination for amputees, but it is only available to soldiers,” adds Simendinger. “I am excited to help Bulow grow its reputation as the leading destination for civilian amputees and help patients achieve their highest levels of comfort and mobility.”
Prior to his work at the CFI, Simendinger worked in numerous private practices for 10 years treating a variety of patients ranging from pediatric to geriatric who required both upper and lower extremity care. Simendinger’s rich background has led him to develop a professional emphasis and specialization with above the knee prosthetics while utilizing the latest in prosthetic technology.
“During my time at the CFI I encountered a large volume of above knee amputees with unique injuries,” notes Simendinger. “This experience has given me a broad range of fitting techniques for patients with above the knee amputations, which can be challenging to fit.”
Simendinger received his prosthetics training at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas.
The Bulow BioTech San Antonio clinic will be the fifth location nationwide and the first in Texas. It is located at 4410 Medical Drive, suite 210.
