Founded in 1982, SCOPe is different from large national companies that sell orthotic and prosthetic devices.

We're a tight-knit group of people working to make dreams happen. We provide our patients with LifeLong Care™, designing, fitting, and delivering ways for our customers to maximize their ability, flexibility, and independence.

We serve patients in Southern California through the largest group of independently owned and managed offices in the area. We're proud to count among our colleagues many practitioners who have received national recognition as experts in such specialties as pediatric and geriatric prosthetics, upper limb myoelectric prosthetics, spinal and neurological disorders, post-polio syndrome. and sport and adult rehabilitation.

Every SCOPe office is owned and managed by practicing orthotic and prosthetic (O&P) practitioners – the very same people our patients meet, work, and consult with every day. Many SCOPe practitioners are patients, too, so we know what the best orthotic and prosthetic care can accomplish – from both sides.

We strive every day to be the best in the world at what we do.

SCOPe is the largest and most comprehensive orthotic and prosthetic (O&P) provider in San Diego County and one of the largest practitioner-owned and operated O&P companies in the United States.

Our Mission

As individual practitioners and as a company, SCOPe is dedicated to providing LifeLong Care™ that is:

• Individualized
• Accessible
• Affordable
• Appropriate

Certification and Accreditation

ABC Certification of Facilities and Practitioners

SCOPe practitioners are certified by the American Board of Certification for Orthotics and Prosthetics (ABC), which means we've trained extensively and met the highest standards of our profession.

In fact, two certification facts set us apart from any other O&P provider in Southern California:

• More of our staff is ABC-certified than any other provider in the region
• All 13 of our facilities are fully accredited

To check the credentials of other providers, call the American Board for Certification in Orthotics and Prosthetics at (703) 836-7114. Ask for current certification status for orthotists and prosthetists and accreditation status of their facilities.

Joint Commission On Accreditation Of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) Reporting

In 1995, JCAHO, the United States' largest healthcare accrediting organization, included specific accreditation standards for hospitals relating to the services provided by outside orthotics and prosthetics vendors.

Although O&P providers are not directly accountable to JCAHO, we believe it is our responsibility to serve hospitals and patients to the highest possible standards of care.

We voluntarily monitor our compliance with JCAHO standards and regularly provide necessary documentation to hospitals for our services, and we collaborate with the hospitals we serve to demonstrate and report compliance for JCAHO review.

The hospitals we work with report that SCOPe is the only O&P company to provide them with the documentation they need for their JCAHO accreditation reporting requirements.
