We Are Care Crafters
Care Crafters' foundation was built in 1996 by our senior practitioner, Thaddeus "Ted" E. Drygas. Having attended Nyack High School in Rockland County, Ted dedicated his life's work to ensuring the availability of exceptional prosthetic and orthotic devices to the people of his home community. Using his mechanical skills and education with a strong understanding of gait and biomechanics to improve mobility, Ted established Care Crafters on believing in personalizing the patient experience with dedication and quality craftsmanship.
