Melissa Huse, C.P.O., L.P.O.

Melissa Huse — Pembroke Pines, FL — Huse Artificial Limb & Brace

Melissa graduated from FIU College of Health in conjunction with the University of Miami School of Medicine, where she earned a medical degree in Prosthetics and Orthotics in 1991. She completed her senior internship at Jackson Memorial Hospital and is board-certified through the American Board for Certification. Opening her own medical office has always been her dream; she wanted to create an orthotic/prosthetic facility centered on friendly patient care. 

Customer service is our highest priority. We are here to help you! When you call our office, you will speak directly with a friendly member of our patient-care team. It is always easy to schedule an appointment, and when you arrive, you will never wait more than 10 minutes in the reception area. We know your time is valuable, and your needs are unique.

Melissa strives to treat each person as a friend rather than a patient. Our clients return year after year, and she enjoys the trusted relationships we have created throughout the years. Melissa met her husband, Miles, while in medical school, and together they established Huse Artificial Limb and Brace in 1991 in the heart of Pembroke Pines. Melissa and Miles have been married for 30 years, and they have three beautiful children. Their daughter, Haylie, is a registered nurse. Their eldest son, Richard is a police officer and United States Army Veteran. Their youngest son, Justin, is a medical student studying towards a doctorate in prosthetics/orthotics and plans to follow in mom and dad’s footsteps.

Miles Huse, C.P.O., L.P.O.

Miles is a proud graduate of FIU College of Health in conjunction with the University of Miami School of Medicine, where he earned his degree in Prosthetics and Orthotics in 1990. Miles completed his senior internship at Mahnke’s Orthotics and Prosthetics in Ft. Lauderdale and became a board-certified practitioner in 1990. 

Miles is exceptionally skilled in designing prosthetics and works closely with our lab technicians to create the most functional and lightweight prostheses for our clients. Even as you proudly take your first steps on a new leg prosthesis, he will be by your side, holding your hand. Miles and his wife, Melissa, established Huse Artificial Limb and Brace in 1991, shortly after their wedding day. It has been their dream to have a family-owned business that is set apart from other prosthetic facilities. 

At Huse Artificial Limb & Brace there is a personal connection to each customer. This is something you will not find in other prosthetic facilities in South Florida. Together they have three exceptional children. Miles travels to St. Aird, Haiti, twice each year to provide much-needed artificial limbs for the Haitian population. Miles is part of a Christian medical mission team, providing all levels of medical care for the underserved people of Haiti. His children have accompanied him on several mission trips to Haiti and assisted in giving medications and vaccinations. The medical care they provide in Haiti comes from a heartfelt desire to make a real impact on the quality of an amputee’s life. Life in Haiti is hard, and, unlike the United States, there is no sympathy for the disabled in Haiti. It is survival of the fittest, and providing a free prosthesis to an amputee allows them to actively function within the Haitian community. Miles provides his professional services, along with prosthetic components, without compensation. He returns every six months to Haiti and looks forward to the overflowing appreciation from the people he treats. For example, a young woman suffered a traumatic amputation during the earthquake in Haiti many years ago. After several years, she still had not received a prosthesis. She lived several miles from the clinic and was brought there by her sister on a bicycle. The day after she received her new leg prosthesis from Miles, she walked all the way to the clinic (a two-hour walk!) on her new leg prosthesis to show her gratitude by bringing Miles a homemade dish of breadfruit and bergamot.

Miles loves working closely with all of his amputee clients to create a custom leg prosthesis that will be used every day to improve all levels of function. You are unique, and each prosthesis is built to your activity level so that you can reach your mobility goals. Miles encourages his clients to return to the office for follow-ups and adjustments. It’s an excellent way for us to keep in touch with our clients and fine-tune the prosthesis for optimum function and comfort.
