Dr Bayer is Great! Knowledgeable, skillful and people friendly. Her office is Advanced Orthopedics and Sports Medicine located nearby in Cown Point Indiana with fast service for my knee surgery, performed at St. Mary's HospitaShow morel which is just a wonderfully incredible hospital. Top it all off with Advanced Physical Therapy located next door to Dr Bayer with Dr Joe Kountz, and Therapists Jen and Ileene. Glad I listened to many of my friend's recommendation to goto Dr Bayer. I am extremely pleased
