David H. Rooney, CPO

Born in: Marshfield, Massachusetts
Lives in: Monroe, CT with wife Linda and 4 children
Education: New York University, BS in Prosthetics & Orthotics, 1985

Ever since David was a teenager, the Orthotic & Prosthetic (O&P) field has fascinated him; he has never wanted to do anything else. So, over 20 years ago he became certified in Prosthetics and Orthotics receiving his degree from New York University. Once out of school, he moved to Connecticut and started his career at the Children’s Hospital Center in Newington, Connecticut. While there he gained valuable experience working in pediatrics. The requests we receive from parents to have David treat their youngsters is proof he still has that special connection with children.

In 1990 he was promoted to Manager of Newington Orthotic & Prosthetic Systems in Norwalk, Connecticut. It was there that David gained experience treating the geriatric population in both prosthetics and orthotics. As manager, David also expanded his natural abilities to supervise people and communicate with referral sources.

David took his clinical experience and business knowledge to found BioMetrics in 1993. At BioMetrics he created a central fabrication center that to this day, custom fabricates most of BioMetrics’ prostheses and orthoses. In addition, he expanded the entire business process and successfully opened three more patient treatment offices in Waterbury, Torrington and most recently Danbury. This expansion has allowed BioMetrics to provide convenient care to our patients, without sacrificing the high standards and personalized attention that BioMetrics is known for.

David’s enthusiasm and passion about the field of O&P is evident in how he stays current with the most advanced technology available in the world. In 2004, David was the first prosthetist in Connecticut to receive certification in the MAS (Marlo Anatomical Socket) Design technique to measure and fit above knee amputees.

While David enjoys spending time with his family and two Leonberger dogs, he also finds time for racquetball and an occasional game of chess.

Along with David’s years of experience and skills, his sense of humor and ability to relate to patients of all ages has earned him exceptional patient loyalty.
