        <h1 class="goldtxt">ABOUT US</h1>
        <p>Appletree Orthotic Services is an orthotics clinic conveniently located in Burlington Ontario serving Greater Toronto, Burlington, Oakville, Hamilton and Halton Region. Our clinic specializes in the design of custom orthopedic braces and orthotic management for children and adults of all ages who face challenges with functional abilities. </p>
        <p> Appletree combines convenient location, full accessibility, proximity to other allied health care providers, and free parking to meet the needs of our clients. To accommodate working families we are open Saturdays by appointment for consultation, fitting and follow up appointments. We are able to see clients without delay, consultations are arranged within days and braces are normally provided with 2 weeks. </p>
        <!--<p>Appletree Orthotic Services is an orthotics clinic conveniently located
in Burlington, Ontario that serves Greater Toronto, Burlington, Oakville,
Hamilton, and Halton Region. Our clinic provides custom orthopedic
bracing, orthotics, plagiocephaly treatment and helmets, and custom and
prefabricated spinal braces for all ages, from newborns to adults.
One of the major advantages of Appletree Orthotic Services is that you can
usually see one of our qualified specialists in a matter of weeks at our clinic,
instead of waiting for months to get treated at your local hospital. For infants
who require plagiocephaly treatment and helmets, the ability to be seen and
treated quickly is crucial.
</p>
<p>
  Another big advantage is that we have the STARscanner™ Laser Data
  Acquisition System on-site at our Burlington clinic. The STARscanner replaces
  the need for plaster casting. In less than 2 seconds, the eye-safe laser collects
  the baby's head shape data and the 3D data can be viewed in multiple planes.
</p>
<p>
The state-of-the-art STARscanner is normally only available at specialized
children's hospitals. So instead of having to travel a long distance to a
hospital, you can have your infant comfortably fitted for a helmet right
here at our Burlington clinic. Our Certified Orthotist Sam Di Summa is fully
trained on this diagnostic tool and uses it regularly as part of his practice as a
clinical consultant and part-time clinical staff member at the Hospital for Sick
Children.
