Why Empowered Prosthetics and Orthotics?
We chose the name Empowered because it reflects our commitment to our patients. Our patients face diverse physically challenges, and we understand the daunting process they undertake to regain their daily activities and lifestyle.
Our goal is to support our patients every step of the way to ensure that our devices are meticulously designed and maintained to deliver optimal performance tailored to each patient’s needs. With a focus on clinical care, customer service, and device craftsmanship, we EMPOWER our patients to take charge of their recovery.
The Empowered Story
Empowered Prosthetics and Orthotics was officially founded in 2019, but its roots trace back over 40 years ago when Jeff Vranesh established Reseda Prosthetics and Orthotics after completing his education and training at UCLA. With a deep commitment to personalized care, Jeff quickly built Reseda P&O into a thriving, patient-centered clinic.
In 2001, Ryan Russell joined Jeff as a prosthetics intern while studying at Cal State Dominguez Hills. Ryan completed his residency under Jeff’s mentorship, and the two formed a lasting professional bond. Nearly two decades later, in 2020, Jeff and Ryan joined forces once again to merge Reseda P&O with Empowered P&O.
Today, Empowered Prosthetics and Orthotics carries that legacy forward – combining skilled craftsmanship, advanced technology, and an unwavering dedication to patient care. We design truly custom devices that help our patients move with confidence, independence, and strength. At Empowered Prosthetics and Orthotics, our mission is to EMPOWER every patient to perform their best.
