About Westcoast Brace & Limb

Infants in helmet therapy and young children needing casts, boots, or braces get patient, hands-on care here, alongside general dental orthodontic treatment.

This is a general dental practice that also offers traditional braces, though much of what reviewers describe centers on pediatric orthotic and prosthetic care, including helmet therapy for infants and fittings for casts and boots. Reviews describe staff who are patient with nervous parents and quick to fit children for devices, sometimes on the same day. Many reviewers mention kind, professional staff, though a smaller number describe scheduling delays and communication gaps, particularly around insurance approvals.

My first experience with the St. Petersburg Brace and Limb location was with Laura, the receptionist. I was apprehensive being fitted for a Scoliosis Brace but was reassured by Laura. I found that Laura performs above and beyond the call of duty. She is efficient, friendly, compassionate, professional, knowledgeable, and gets the job done. Laura exemplifies the old fashioned work ethic that is rarely seen in today's workplace. I wondered if the company is fully aware of just how much she really does for them. Thank you for Laura!

We've been going here for a few years now for my son's legs braces. Best place we've found since moving from Michigan! They are fantastic with kids, they are experts at what they do and overall just great to work with! (St. Pete location)

I had my first-ever appointment with Westcoast Brace and Limb in St. Pete on Mon Feb. 2. I usually don't write reviews after one visit, but my experience with receptionist Laura and specialist Nick warrant praise. I had called the office to see if I could come in early on my appointment date to fill out patient info vs doing it online, where I am rarely successful. However, it was so bitter cold on Feb. 2, I attempted to fill out the online form to avoid having to go out in the cold earlier than necessary. After completing it more than 60 percent, it vanished from my screen. When I expressed my frustration to Laura, she asked for my phone and somehow retrieved the form AND finished filling it out on my behalf and never showing impatience. Nick, who was to measure me for a back brace, took me before my actual appointment time. When I saw the brace my medical facility had written a script for, I told Nick it simply woudn't help me. It was designed for the lower back. Of the 6 compound fractures of my spine suffered in 2024, four were in the upper back (thorssic) section. Nick respected my concern and offered an alternative that looks like it will be perfect. Unfortunately, my medical facility had sent a vague script and also focused entirely on the lower vertebrae. He gave me precise information to take back to my PCP so a new and more accurate script could be submitted. While he searched for a picture of a brace that would support my entire back, I shared that I did not want a brace that felt like a bulky bullet-proof vest worn by law enforcement and that jammed a supposedly protective part up against my throat--the brace issued to me by the hospital back in 2024, and which I could not tolerate wearing. Again. Nick listened and did not judge my complaint as frivolous.. I DO look forward to receiving a comfortable and supportive brace in the near future Kudos to Laura and Nick for their assistance and patience. --Jean Mlincek

I had an absolutely amazing experience at the Brace & Limb Westcoast location! Transitioning to a new brace can be overwhelming, but Philip and Mrs. Sharolee made the entire process seamless and joyful. Not only was the clinical care top-notch, but they also took the time to teach me truly important things about my new brace to ensure I feel confident using it. They treated me with so much smiles and love—it felt more like visiting family than a medical appointment. I highly recommend this location to anyone looking for professional expertise delivered with genuine heart!
