Richard Bahner Review

COASTAL REGION PATIENT

Dr. Bahner was amazing! I destroyed my wrist and he put me back together with lots of metal and skill. He had to push up surgery for me so I could travel on just a couple days wait. Five months later I have nearly all of my use back in my wrist (important as I am a writer) and a barely noticeable scar! Kudos also to my therapist Dawn as well!
