Dr. Bayer is great! Takes her time with you, listens to what you have to say and any concerns or questions you may have. Had an arthroscopic procedure done on my left knee. She did a fantastic job. Has been two weeks and I’m almShow moreost pain-free. I was told by a previous doctor that the insurance probably wouldn’t pay for this procedure which they didn’t. Dr. Bayer fought with the insurance company for me and this procedure was approved within two weeks. Would definitely recommend Dr. Bayer!
