Stubbs opened its doors on August 1st, 1981 under the title, Stubbs Limb & Brace. Its founders were William V. Stubbs, his wife Barbara A. Stubbs and their son W. Mark Stubbs. At the time, both Mark and his father were working for Fillauer Inc. It wasn’t until June 1984 when Mark’s wife, Melanie Stubbs joined the company. She was initially trained as a technician but over time moved into the front office as Barbara’s assistant. It wasn’t until October 23, 1997, when Melanie took over as the corporation’s secretary-treasurer.
 
Stubbs Limb & Brace changed its name in July of 1994 to Stubbs Prosthetics & Orthotics inc. as it is known today. Mark bought the company from his father in 1998.  
 
On June 1, 1999, Stubbs opened a second office at 1809 Gunbarrel Rd in a building owned by Chattanooga Bone & Joint Surgeons. This office was a full-time facility complete with a lab for fabrication. After 4 years, Stubbs relocated that office to Dalton Georgia. On September 23, 2004, that office re-opened at 1004 Burleyson Rd., in Dalton Georgia as a “satellite” location with limited hours.
 
Due to the success of the Dalton location, Stubbs opened a second office in Hixson, TN on February 20, 2006. Responding to the need for more space and a desire to provide a better environment for patient services and employee needs, Stubbs relocated their Chattanooga office to 5717 Uptain Rd, Suite 5800 in Chattanooga on January 30, 2007. Additionally, the Dalton office was relocated to a larger office in April 2020 to 1213 Broadrick Drive in Dalton Georgia.
