Our entire staff of over 40 employees, including physicians, physician assistants, medical assistants, physical and occupational therapists, orthopedic technologists, and office staff, all work in one building: the Kimmel Building, on the campus of St. Mary’s Medical Center.

Haley Nebraska, United States Congenital Femoral Deficiency. I can only say good things about our experience with the Paley Institute. When Haley was six weeks old, the Shriners wanted to amputate her leg. She was born with proximal focal femoral deficiency (PFFD), also known as congenital femoral deficiency (CFD).

No. While your insurance may consider the Paley Institute to be in-network, not all services may be considered in-network. Oftentimes insurance companies have negotiated contracts with particular providers to provide laboratory, x-ray, physical therapy, and other services. Your insurance company may not cover x-rays, laboratory services, physical therapy, etc. provided by the Paley Institute and St. Mary’s Medical Center. If your insurance does not cover these services, ask your provider for a prescription for the x-rays. You will need to bring these x-rays with you to your appointment.
