Testimonials

“Prosthetics Advancement Lab developed a prosthetic ear after I lost a good part of my left ear due to melanoma. Janet Chao did a remarkable job in creating a prosthetic ear that is so very close to the original that people can't see the difference. When I show family or close friends they are absolutely blown away. During this lengthy process Janet was patient and very professional. Her work is meticulous and when there were some fitting issues she immediately adjusted the prosthetic until I was satisfied. She was honest about the cost and time that it would take. She was diligent working with the insurance company to make sure I received my share of reimbursement. Janet's prices are fair and disclosed upfront, there are no hidden fees. I am very grateful to Janet. Southern Nevada is blessed to have her in our community.“
(via text) “I cannot thank you enough you and Christine…you made me a better person much love…May both of you guys be successful in your life thank you again a billion times over…it mean so much to me everybody loves it I love it more”
“Janet Chao is seriously the most AMAZING and TALENTED Ocularist EVER!!! For the first time in 19yrs I feel like I have my eyes back. This is the first time I am 100% satisfied and happy with the outcome of my prosthetic. It looks so real that my own son had to ask which one was the prosthetic. Its amazing what she has done for my self esteem at the age of 40. I am so happy to have found her! If you need a prosthetic PAL is the place to go to get Janet Chao!!!” -N.H.
