Bremer Orthotics & Prosthetics

What Bremer Orthotics & Prosthetics does

Bremer Orthotics & Prosthetics is a privately held, family-owned clinical practice and custom medical device manufacturer founded in 1934 by Dr. Wilmore Bremer, who helped establish the American Board for Certification and the American Orthotic and Prosthetic Association. The company designs, fabricates, and fits custom prosthetic limbs (lower and upper extremity) and orthotic braces (spinal, limb, and cranial), with on-site laboratory capabilities enabling faster turnaround and real-time adjustments. Specialized offerings include microprocessor knee units (e.g., Ottobock X3, Power Knee), osseointegration solutions, C-Brace computerized knee-ankle-foot orthotic systems, and cranial remolding orthoses. VertAlign and Comfalign patented spinal systems developed by the Bremer family are licensed nationwide.

The company operates three clinical locations across Northeast Florida—Jacksonville Riverside (headquarters), Jacksonville Southside, and Ormond Beach—serving patients from children to older adults, athletes, and trauma cases across the Southeast United States. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time device sales (custom prosthetics and orthotic braces) plus professional services (evaluations, fittings, adjustments, ongoing care), with billing routed through major insurance providers. A dedicated in-house insurance verification and claims team supports patients in navigating coverage. The go-to-market model is direct-to-patient with physician, hospital, and physical therapist referral pipelines, augmented by a peer mentorship program staffed by amputees who provide pre- and post-fitting advocacy. The practice is currently led by third-generation owner Todd Norton, L/CP, FAAOP, with a team that includes certified prosthetists, orthotists, lab technicians, and insurance specialists.
