Thank you so much for your professionalism, kindness, and expertise while making my prosthetic ear.  When I lost part of my ear to basal cell carcinoma, I was pretty devastated.  You made the process of restoring it very uncomplicated.  I love my new ear!  My family, staff, and friends are all amazed by how natural it looks.  I am too!  You and your staff are so professional, friendly and gifted.  The whole experience was very pleasant.  It fits great and is so comfortable that I can’t even tell that it’s on. It even works with my dental loupes which is amazing. Thanks again for all you did. Allison and her team are the best.  They created two prostheses for me; an ear and cartilage on the other side.  She is a Michelangelo when it comes to color and style.  The best of the best. I would recommend her to anyone and have done so.

I’ve always taken pride in my appearance & have been complimented on my pretty hands throughout my life.  At 68, it was a crushing blow to my vanity to lose the tip of one my thumbs in a leaf blowing accident. I realize this may not be tragic to most, but to me, it was devastating and crippling. I refused to leave the house for any reason due to the shame and embarrassment experienced after the loss of my thumb. I felt as if I wasn’t a ‘whole person’ any longer. I was drowning in depression & became reclusive. My surgeon suggested a prosthetic thumb but omg, most were awful & didn’t look ‘real’.  Then, I found Allison Vest & her awesome team at Mosaic!! Viewing her work through pictorials, brought the first ray of hope I’d come across post trauma. Finally!  A tiny light at the end of the tunnel! From first contact with Ms. Vest & her staff through to completion of my prosthesis, the ‘wait’ was minimal & the quality of the prosthetic & service I received, beyond awesome. Words can’t express the gratitude or appreciation I have for their work. My family & friends & family report that “the old Teri’s back” & she IS indeed!!  People will say things like “Oh!! Show them your new thumb!! Now, which one is it?!” My point EXACTLY!! 👍🏻

I am extremely grateful to Allison, Ashley, and the rest of the team at Mosaic Prosthetics for fitting me with my prosthetic ear. In October of 2023, I had surgery to remove my left ear due to an aggressive Squamous cell cancer. The cancer was due to my prolonged use of immunosuppressant medication. I am a lung transplant recipient, having received a bi-lateral lung transplant in 2014. The medications I take are incredible and keep my body from rejecting my transplanted lungs, but one of the risks prolonged uses of the medication is the possibility of cancer, especially skin cancer. I was still coming to the realization that I would be living the rest of my life with one ear. In one of my checkups with my surgeon, she asked if I would be open to consulting with someone that would create a prosthetic ear for me. I immediately said, yes. She referred me to Mosaic Prosthetics. I set up an appointment and began the incredible journey that would lead to my “new” ear. It was impressive to watch them work and create a prosthetic that looks so natural. No one has any idea that I am wearing one. In fact, the people at my church, (I am a Minister of Music), have trouble knowing which ear is real and which one is the prosthetic. (And they saw me weekly for almost six months prior to receiving my “ear”) I have remarkable stories about my “ear.” This is one of my favorites: After church one Sunday a young lady approached me to get a closer look at my ear. She looked at me very carefully and said “Wow, how awesome is that! You grew back your ear.”

I cannot say enough wonderful things about the team at Mosaics. They are artists in the truest sense. I recommend them 100%. They are the absolute best!
