Brent Walker was rude! Unprofessional more worried about who was going to pay him, TMC emergency room took an x-ray off my knee then sent me next door to Tuc. Orthopaedic Inst. His first words. So what wrong? the xrays show theres nothing! Who took the x-ray? when He found out he was pissed and yell from in the room for someone to get the protocol on why they sent me over to him. Then turned to me and said This all has to do with who's paying Him. How's he getting his money!!! TMC Hospital or my insurance? I responded This is through Workmans Comp. He rudely said " You could of told me that when I walked in the door, now this just got even more complicated" Since then he had caused more problems because he is so worried about who's paying him that he keeps Billing my Insurance company. Which is making a mess and a lot more work for everyone. Im so tried of the having to make phone calls and being placed on hold forever. Just today I received another statement that he has billed my Ins for $1600.00. He did nothing but sent me down the hall for a knee brace and told me to come back in ten days. I went back but refused to see him!. He's old & grumpy and needs to just stay home. I did end up seeing Dr DeWald and was very happy with him. Plus he is sending everything through work mans with no problems.

My 22 year old daughter is a dance major at University of Arizona. She had an ankle injury and saw a doctor at this practice in March 2017. She was provided a walking boot at the time of the appointment. It was an Ossur Form Fit Walking Boot and it sells for $47.50 at Walmart. She was charged $499 for this boot. Our insurance paid 50% of the cost and left us with the rest. Their billing department has been less an cordial about this issue. They claim she had signed a form for the boot. I have three kids and gone through dozens of boots and ankle braces over the years. Never have I had to sign a form before. That in itself is a red flag for me. They are sending it to me. This incident alone demonstrates that this is a very unethical business and I would be very cautious engaging them.

Dr. Baron completed my back surgery in June of 2009, it has now been a year and I have my life back. I was looking at only getting 25 percent of relief but through his skill and doing rehab I have 95 percent relief. I was back to country dancing and full time work within 3 months. Thank you Dr. Baron
