DO YOU KNOW A GOOD ORTHOTIST?
....someone who clearly LOVES what they do.
....someone who knows that getting to know and listening to his patient is the first step in taking care of
his patient's needs.
....someone who ENJOYS the working relationships with physicians, therapists, nurses,family members, fellow
practioners, technicians office staff AND values each one's contribution.
....someone who knows that while trying to do business in a comprtitve market, there is no business unless
patient care comes first.
DO YOU KNOW LOU HARVEY, C.O.?
Maybe you do know Lou. If you do then you know what I'm talking about.
If you don't know Lou, but you still know what I am talking about....then you do know the man!
Lou Harvey C.O. has been the best of the best of the above brief definition of an orthotist. Lou received his
education at Cerritos College and UCLA. Lou's work experience during the last thirty years includes Cerritos Orthotics and Prosthetics, Lerman and Sons and Laternman State Hospital where he gained invaluable experience in both brace making and dealing with extremely challenging cases. From these experiences Lou gained the most valuable tool: compassion. He brought these skills and knowledge to Sunny Hills Orthopedic in Fullerton, CA.. Here he became one of the most respected and beloved practioners that patients,co-workers,therapists, nurses and physicians have ever known. He is simply one of the best at what he does! So many of us are better practioners indeed better people because of this wonderful man's influence.
In 2003, Lou made a big decision. He accepted a position in Hawaii from Rodney Pang CO at Honolulu Orthopedics. It was a BIG decision and he admitted it was ...a little bit scary. Lou's wife Sharon was born and raised in Hawaii. They traveled there several times a year where Sharon has a wonderful large family and....well face it, it's Hawaii!!
Fears unfounded, Lou's dream did come true. He LOVED his new job, loved his new employers and co-workers, loved his new patients and again, was doing what he is good at and loving it. They also found and purchased the home of their dreams.
A few months after this Dream come true, Lou was diagnosised with cancer. He is currently undergoing surgeries, radiation therapy, chemotherapy. The worst part is he feels is he is unable to do what he loves (work) and unable to provide an income.
While Lou and Sharon are fighting their monthly bills, the medical bills are mounting.
Lou obviously has had a tremendous effect on a lot of lives. A desire to help has turned into a way to help; a group effort by people who care. His friends are attempting to establish a prescription assistance program. A discount card was purchased for medications that don't qualifiy in the program. A Special Account has been established with the Bank of Hawaii-Wahiawa Branch to accept donations to help Lou and Sharon. We are not asking a lot from anyone, our hope is to receive a little from a lot of people.
