I was given a hand brace that was $250+ and told by someone that came in after Dr.Bahner left that insurance would pay 80%. Got home, went on line and saw the exact Veasa fit brace for $30. Shame on Emerge Ortho. They should be ashamed of themselves.

Dr. Banner is amazing, I trust no one else with my hands and shoulders. He is very professional and I have never had anything but excellent results. I highly recommend Dr. Bahner.

When he first walked into the room and saw the tray with the injection which is what I asked whoever checked me in and he said oh it looks like you talked to someone into an injection what a lousy thing to say !
Did not appreciate the discharge good luck with a smiley face! I found him a bit arrogant and not very kind. When you’re in pain you want someone that wants to help you not just someone that wants to throw you into surgery!
