Custom-Fit DME
At Aptiva Health, we provide convenient, on-site access to the durable medical equipment you need to manage your injury or to help you recover from surgery. As soon as your Aptiva health physician orders DME for you at one of our locations, one of our highly skilled DME specialists will visit you in the exam room to take precise measurements. The goal: ensuring your DME experience includes a comfortable, custom fit.
Not only does this save you a trip to a medical supply store, it also ensures you receive the exact equipment your doctor ordered with an optimal fit for maximum healing. In most cases, special equipment orders are not necessary, so our patients leave with their custom-fit equipment at that same visit.
