The office lets my medical insurance pay its part before they would send me a bill for a co-payment. Dr. Chad Laurich is very skilled at cutting the deep calluses from my feet without causing me pain. I like dealing with him, and Doctor Laurich is good about answering my questions.

Hanger is the only place my husband will get his prosthetics made and serviced.

Hanger makes sockets that fit like a glove. My husband has a severe contracture of his stump which makes fitting his prosthetic especially challenging. Hanger always makes sure that his leg is just right despite the contracture.

Here is a brief summary of my interaction with Hanger today. I called a inquiring about a post op…read moreshoe. I was told that that they did have in stock, but the other person would have to call me back and let me know pricing. I needed this quickly, so I went to Tylerfrom Gimer, about40 miles to pickitupasiknewthey had it. Iarrivedat their office spoke to the lady atthefrontdesk about 3:30 PM. She said she had a note to call me back. I asked why she had not and shereplied it had been really busy. There was not another person in the waiting area. It was a ghost town. I find it hard to believe that she couldn't spare 30 seconds phone call other than just not caring enough to do her job. After all of thisiwasi formed that I would need a press edition toget this show from them. This moteequredby the insurance company, she said,but a Hanger policy. Most ridiculous thing ever as you can buy the same shoe online with no prescription. Very unhappy with them. Abysmal customer service. I have used them 2 times in the past for orthotics and shoes and my mother has as well. Never again. There are many other places that I can spend my money. They are dead to me.

The office is also pleasant, equipped with resources that assist you in practicing your mobility. Overall, it's a fantastic place, and I would suggest them to others!

I received orthotic shoes with inserts from Arnold's once each year for several years. The VA pays…read morefor one pair of shoes per year but I pay $60 for the Podiatry visit. Initially I was very happy with the service received. There were previous issues with inserts which they adjusted to fit me reasonably well but not great. Year before last the inserts were way off and I couldn't walk with them for very long before my feet started hurting really bad so I finally disposed of them and used some previous inserts. In the past they showed to be very veteran-friendly and I even suggested to my podiatrist at the VA that he recommend them to all his patients which he eagerly said he would do after I let him know they provided me with 2 pairs of shoes for the VA order that only paid for 1 pair. Last year, a huge plus is they upgraded the way they fit you for shoe inserts. Instead of having you stand in foam to make impressions, they use a special camera. Quick and easy and for the 1st time I received inserts which were a joy to walk in. However, last year when I went in, there was a really young man helping me and he rushed me to make my shoe picks...my 1st and 2nd choice and several alternates in case those 2 were not available. I hadn't even had time to look at all the options but I hurriedly jotted some down. After the shoes arrived I was called back in to pick them up and usually they want me to try them on and make sure they fit right. It was the same guy and he just wanted me to look at them and go. After I got home and tried them on, one pair was not wearable. There was so much depth in the shoe that I was unable to tighten the shoes up enough so I could walk without the shoes slipping off my feet. I called and complained about them and when I arrived back with the shoes, I encountered a man I will just call Mr. Sourpants. He quizzed me, asking me things like, "didn't the other guy tell you these shoes are intended for people with extra large special inserts which you don't have???" Ummm, no, he didn't offer me any information and was rushing me out. Why would I have picked shoes that I was told would not work with my inserts? Why would HE have allowed me to choose shoes not suitable? After some more back and forth he agreed to exchange them and to his credit he did allow me ample time to review options in the shoe catalog. I no longer recommend them. This year when I was called to come in for a fitting I asked her if they could just use the same prescription as the previous year. Maybe save them some money and guarantee myself good inserts again. She agreed and I went there only to look in the catalog and pick shoes. When I arrived, it was Mr. Sourpants. My previous VA orders were for 1 pair of shoes but they always provided me with 2 pairs, something I was told before by an employee that they did for veterans. I was ok with just getting the one pair but merely inquired about the change which I was guessing became too expensive with increased veteran clientele. Wow, he suddenly started treating me like I was a scammer and became cold and hateful towards me and denied they ever did such a thing. I had no desire to be treated like that again and when I was called to come pick up the shoes I told the lady I no longer wanted them and to donate them to someone else or send them back and pocket the money. I am done with this place.
