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!

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 Hospital 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
