About Us

Help is Our Main Goal

Established in 2012, we have put together a team of professionals with over 25 years of combined experience that are committed to meeting each and every patient’s needs. Gulf Coast Prosthetics was founded on the basis that patient care and attention promotes the best over-all healing process. Our team will provide you with the service and attention you not only need but also deserve

At Gulf Coast Prosthetics, we have an in-house fabrication laboratory in our office to ensure that each patient receives their prosthesis in a timely manner. We provide top-quality prosthetic health care to patients in Conroe, Spring, Humble, Huntsville and the surrounding Houston areas. Our patient centered approach, along with our staff expertise; onsite fabrication and leading edge technology set us apart and make us a dependable partner in your journey to discovering your potential. Gulf Coast Prosthetics knows that the device alone is not a solution for our patients. That’s why together, with referring physicians or facilities, we provide comprehensive support every step of the way.

Milan Patel

Milan Patel is an ABC Board Certified Prosthetist Orthotist (CPO) at Gulf Coast Prosthetics. He graduated from Baylor College of Medicine with a Master’s of Science in Orthotics and Prosthetics. He has over 10 years of patient-care experience working with a broad range of patients and medical conditions through his diverse work experiences. A native of Houston, Milan Patel has had a passion for helping others from an early age. This played a significant role throughout his life, that eventually led him to study biology as an undergrad at the University of Texas – Austin with the intent of going into the healthcare field. He spent the next several years working at Houston Methodist Hospital as a Radiographic Technologist. Milan found passion for patient-care through his bedside experiences with patients in the ICUs and other critical care units. His experiences working directly with the Orthopedic surgeons during their cases and a strong desire to have a greater impact in terms of a patient’s medical care or treatment plan lead him to pursue a career in Orthotics and Prosthetics.

Ann Thompson

“I have been working with GCP for over 6 years now as the Office Manager and absolutely love what I do! I love seeing the positive influence and changes we bring to our patients. I take pride in Gulf Coast Prosthetics, as a team we do everything we can to make sure our patients get the best patient care possible. GCP creates long-lasting and true relationships with our patients that go further than prosthetics. My life outside of work is spent with my husband of 22 years and our 3 boys, who all keep me pretty busy. I love spending time with my family, bowling, and being at the lake.”
