"I have experienced the worst customer service I have ever received from an Orthopedic surgeon. ... The next day I spent 2 hours on the phone with Anthem and they even got Dr Beim's office on the phone and showed them where the mistake was. Even after all that Gunnison Valley Health sent me a bill for one hour of their time to straighten out the mess that they made on their end!"
— Wanderlog review of Gunnison Valley Health Hospital"I can't say enough good things about this office. Dr. Biem and her entire staff make you feel like a friend from the second you walk in the door. I have absolute complete confidence in the skill level and performance of every single employee I've come in contact with"
— Patient Story - Gloria Beim, M.D. website"Not only was he rude, he completely missed the fact that the bone never joined together. Based on a single in-house x-ray, he said it was healing “just fine.” In reality, the two halves “healed” themselves as completely separate entities."
