Dr. Kummer was great. The office itself though is very factory like. First thing in - x-rays even bore I saw the Dr. then back to the room. All friendly mind you - just felt like a factory assembly line.
Dr. Kummer is my first and only choice for orthopedic care in Denver. She is an expert in her field and I don't know anyone in her field that is more proficient, caring and meticulous.
