“Opposites attract” is a cliché, but for Lauren Wlazlowski and Brooks Raney it’s obviously true. “Our love for O&P brought us together, but beyond that similarity, we’re polar opposites,” writes the engaged couple, who also recently opened their first facility together, Twin City O&P, Lufkin, Texas. Wlazlowski knew she wanted to join the profession in high school after watching Special Olympians wearing prostheses compete. Raney is a congenital amputee but didn’t think about practicing until his final semester of engineering school at the University of Oklahoma, Norman. The two met at the Newington Certificate Program, Connecticut, and then went on to co-manage a practice in Lynchburg, Virginia. Today, they say that opening their own practice was “meant to be.”
