About Florida O&P Services
Here at Florida O&P Services, we are a real team. Scott, Bette and I share so many core values, that it isn’t hard to work together. We are all very compassionate people and take pride in our work. We care about each other and our patients beyond just work; we are friends.
We believe that “Listening is the better half of communication.” When you are here, we sincerely want to understand you and your needs. Not everyone wants the same thing so we design your prosthesis or orthosis with you. I explain your options and tell you the advantages of each. Then we decide together.
Matt Bailey
This is my home town. I grew up in Loxahatchee, back when all the roads in that direction were one lane. We had goats and dogs and we played in the 100 acres of woods behind our house.
I went to Twin Lake High School, studied Biochemistry at Florida State, and got a second bachelors degree in Prosthetics and Orthotics from FIU in Miami. I did my Orthotic residency in Atlanta, and my Prosthetic residency in both Orlando and Atlanta. I am certified by the American Board for Certification and a Fellow of the American Academy of Orthotists and Prosthetists.
My college roommate and I started the first Florida O&P office in Jacksonville, Florida in 1997. We expanded to 3 offices in the surrounding area before I decided I had to get back home. In 2004, the Palm Beach Gardens office was born.
I am lucky to be married to a wonderful woman and the love of my life, Angie. She is from Canada and we met on a blind date! We adore our two children; Chloe age 10 and Nick age 6. On of my big motivators in coming back home was so that we could to my parents, Mimi and Jim Bailey who now live in Lake Worth.
Prosthetics intrigued me in college, when I worked as an EMT at small Hospital. It has turned out to be the perfect profession for me; I get to make a difference in people’s lives, I love physics, medicine and working with my hands.
Fortunately, prosthetics found me.
Bette
Bette Jones is our Office Manager. She is originally from Detroit, Michigan. And moved to Florida with her family in 1978. She will be your first line of communication when contacting our office. She has been in the medical field for many years, so she is familiar with questions and concerns of patient’s and their family members. She should be able to answer all of your questions regarding insurance coordination for all of your needs.
Bette enjoys working with our patients, getting to know their interest and being involved with their extended family. She is also our office photographer, and loves to capture exciting moments during the progress of getting our patients up and walking again.
"My favorite part of my job is the very first day that I see a patient stand up, look in the mirror at them selves and then continue to walk down the parallel bars. It is the most heart warming experience that one can ever hope for.”
Scott
Scott Fraiman brings 37 plus years of technician experience to the practice. He relocated from California in 1992 with his wife, son, daughter and family pets to Southern Florida.
His experience of fabrication has evolved in time from the primitive methods of a “leg maker” to the highly advanced techniques of today’s state of the art prosthetics.
Scott enjoys cooking, gardening and maintaining a marine aquarium in his spare time.
“Knowing that my contribution helps people get on with their lives inspires my drive to continue this path for years to come.”
