Shreveport Welcomes New Orthotic and Prosthetic Solutions Facility
Shreveport, Louisiana is now home to Orthotic & Prosthetic Solutions (OPS), with its inaugural location officially opened to the public. Founded in 2019 by D’Andre “Dre” Mostella, a certified prosthetist and board-eligible orthotist, OPS aims to provide innovative and accessible care for individuals needing orthopedic and prosthetic support.
The new facility, located at 4700 Southern Avenue, marks an important expansion of OPS’s services, which already include locations in Baton Rouge, Jackson, and Mobile, as well as their service coverage across Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. This expansion emphasizes OPS’s focus on making advanced care available to individuals, especially in rural communities or those facing transportation challenges.
Innovative Technology and Mobile Services
OPS is recognized for its commitment to innovative technology and compassionate care.

With a promising turnaround time of just 7 to 14 days, patients can look forward to getting their devices in a timely manner, enabling them to regain mobility and independence promptly.
The company’s mobile service model is particularly noteworthy, as it allows care teams to deliver personalized treatment directly to patients’ homes. This service is critical for individuals who might not otherwise be able to access necessary orthopedic care due to mobility constraints or lack of transportation.

The grand opening event was attended by local sports icons, including LSU guard and Fair Park High School alum Stromile Swift, alongside NFL legend Adrian Peterson. The presence of these athletes highlighted the community-centric mission of OPS, emphasizing its goal to assist not just athletes but all individuals in reclaiming their physical capabilities and enhancing their quality of life.
During the event, attendees, including many younger fans, had the opportunity to engage with the athletes, discussing their careers and experiences. The positive interactions aimed to inspire local youths, showing the importance of perseverance and recovery in the face of challenges.
Commitment to the Region
D’Andre Mostella’s commitment to giving back to the Shreveport community is at the core of OPS’s mission.

As OPS begins its operations in Shreveport, the facility aims to fulfill a critical role in the community, facilitating access to quality orthopedic and prosthetic care. The advanced services, combined with a mobile care approach, position OPS to effectively serve patients and contribute positively to the health landscape in the Gulf South region.
