Meet our Team

CPO/LPO

Robert C. Manfredi is the Owner of Manfredi O&P Affiliates. He is a Certified Prosthetist and Orthotist, certified by the American Board for Certification in Orthotics and Prosthetics, and licensed by the state of New Jersey. He is a graduate of Northwestern University with a degree in Orthotics and Prosthetics and has worked in the field for over 40 years. He is a member of the New Jersey Chapter of the Academy of Orthotists and Prosthetists and is well known for his use of digital technologies and dedication to comfortable socket design.

What patients often remember most about Bob is not just his experience, but how he makes them feel. He connects quickly and speaks with honesty and clarity, taking time to explain options, answer questions, and guide people through decisions that can feel overwhelming. He has seen the profession evolve across decades, adapted as technology and standards have changed, and stayed at the forefront of that progress while maintaining the same steady focus: outcomes, comfort, and quality of life.

Robert brings a personal level of care to every patient relationship. He treats people with the same attention and respect he gives his own family, and it shows in the trust he earns and the long-term relationships he builds with patients and the clinical teams who refer to him.

Dan grew up in the business and understands limb loss on a level that cannot be taught. He has faced life-changing challenges firsthand and met them with grit, humility, and steady perseverance. That perspective shows up in the way he carries himself, the way he treats patients, and the quiet confidence he brings to the work.

He’s also someone who genuinely enjoys meeting people and building real connections, whether that’s in a professional setting or outside of it.

Outside of work, John spends as much time outdoors as possible. He especially enjoys being on the water and will take any excuse to jump on the boat and throw some fishing lines in the water. If you’re a boater or a true water person, mention it to John. You’ll likely have quite a bit to discuss!
