Dr. Demitrios Macris

Demetrios Macris, M.D.

Chairman

A vascular surgeon by profession, Dr. Demetrios Macris sees first-hand how amputations and the lack of funding for prosthesis impact the lives of amputees, their family members and the community as a whole.  That is why Dr. Macris founded The Prosthetic Foundation and currently serves as our board president.  “The reason we exist is to provide a bridge between underserved amputees and the necessary funding.”
