To complement and support our team of orthopedic surgeons and to develop our knee clinic, we are fortunate to welcome Peter Bukachesku, a fantastic orthotist from Miami, Florida, who joins our team of experts to offer custom-made orthoses of exceptional quality in a very quick time-frame.

This great initiative allows us to better improve the quality, speed, and efficiency of our service. We welcome Peter, who comes to us with more than 30 years of experience in the field and with the new generation of custom footprint scanners.
