Dan Zenas
Dan is the owner and president of Georgia Prosthetics and the first prosthetist licensed in the state of Georgia.
Dan has more than 20 years of experience in providing amputees with high-quality prosthetic services using state-of-the-art materials. All prosthetics are made by hand by our team of technicians with precision and a comfortable fit as our goals.
He earned a B.A. from the University of Notre Dame in 1986, a B.S. from Michigan State University in 1989, and a graduate certificate in prosthetics at Northwestern University Medical School in 1993. Dan obtained his ABC Certification in Prosthetics in 1995.
