Certified Prosthetist and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist
Michelle is a native Las Vegan and one of only two ABC-certified female prosthetists in Southern Nevada. She received her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, studying kinesiology, sports injury management, sports medicine, and biomechanics. She spent almost a year volunteering with a prosthetic company, learning every aspect of the field, after which she went on to complete her Prosthetic Certification at California State University, Dominguez Hills. Michelle is an advocate for exercise and fitness and has competed in several triathlons. She motivates her patients & co-workers to stay active as well. Michelle is also a certified track & field coach, specializing in amputee athletics.

She enjoys working in a field that allows her to work with people who want to get back to their everyday activities and more. Michelle is also a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist; her goal is to get everyone she works with up and moving, whether it’s walking around their home, running a 5K, biking, hiking, or working out. Whatever your goal is, her goal at Nevada Prosthetics is to get you to that finish line.

Jeremy Brooks, CP
Certified Prosthetist
Jeremy received his bachelor’s degree in behavioral science and health from the University of Utah. He then studied prosthetics at the University of Connecticut, graduating in 2003. He completed his prosthetics residency in Las Vegas in 2004, where he continued to work in private practice until 2012. Jeremy was then offered an opportunity to work for the military in San Diego, California, working with active-duty servicemen/women who had suffered amputation. There, he was able to learn and practice high-tech prosthetics, including running prosthetics, sports prostheses, microprocessor-controlled prosthetics, and complex cases such as multiple limb amputation. Jeremy is also experienced working with patients who have undergone osseointegration (bone-implanted prosthetics). Jeremy returned to Las Vegas to work with his close friends at Nevada Prosthetics in 2014 and is very excited to be a part of this amazing team. Jeremy’s greatest training in prosthetics came from being a tri-lateral amputee himself. He’s had the opportunity to try on almost every type of prosthesis available in both upper and lower limb prosthetics. This helps him design and fit the prosthetics he provides for the patients he works with. He enjoys kayaking, hiking, and riding his Harley. He’s completed several 5Ks and hiked 12 miles into the Grand Canyon in 2015. Furthermore, he is a proud husband and father of 3 children and loves to spend time with his family outdoors.
Kyle Dalley, BOCP
Certified Prosthetist
Kyle was born and raised in Southern Nevada. At the age of ten, he was involved in a motor vehicle accident and lost his left leg above the knee. Losing his leg as a child never slowed Kyle down. He was active in sports growing up, including football and basketball. When Kyle was 21, he decided that he wanted to show other amputees their potential and teach from his experiences. He entered the field of prosthetics and became a board-certified prosthetist in 2008. Being an active amputee and prosthetic user, Kyle has a unique perspective on prosthetics and understands firsthand how they should fit and function. Kyle is an avid runner and athlete. He has competed in several Paralympic track and field events, both nationally and internationally, placing 2nd in his event. In 2014, he competed with Team USA in the 100m & 200m events. He plays basketball with his church team and plans to run a 5K and participate in a triathlon this year. He is a loving husband and father of 4 children. Kyle loves his chosen career and inspires other amputees every day with his actions and dedication. He is very excited to be a part of the Nevada Prosthetics team.
