Our Team
Medical Consultants
Our Medical Consultants play a crucial role at ProLab Orthotics. The Consultants set high standards for the lab based on the latest medical research for effective orthotic therapy. They also consult with ProLab clients to help them with challenging cases to ensure the best clinical outcomes.
When you speak with our consultants, you are speaking with trusted colleagues who have a deep understanding of the role of biomechanics in surgical and nonsurgical podiatric treatments. Our consultants are nationally known podiatrists with clinical and practice management expertise in addition to their roles as educators of biomechanics and orthotic therapy.
Larry Huppin, DPM - Medical Director
Dr. Huppin has been the Medical Director at ProLab since 2003. He has the same passion for biomechanics and orthotic therapy as the founder of ProLab, Dr. Paul Scherer. He splits his time between ProLab and seeing patients in his busy practice in Seattle. This gives Dr. Huppin a unique perspective as a clinician, researcher, and educator.
