Hanger Clinic - Ill fitting just purchased AFO Brace - Image 2

I have been using Hanger Clinic in West Palm Beach for 12 years. I recently purchased a pair of AFO ankle and foot braces that were not custom-made for me.

Both braces had upper calf supports so small that they cut into my calf muscles. The right arch support was so large, it seemed as though it was trying to change the positions of the bones in my foot. The bottom of my right foot hurt for an hour after removing the brace.

I purchased them on June 6, 2024, and returned them on June 10, 2024. I recently learned Hanger Clinic was purchased by another company, which means I've probably been robbed of $4406.76.

Prosthetic Put Me IN Hospital

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

BEWARE, STAY FAR FAR AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. DON'T LEARN THE HARD WAY LIKE I DID.

WAS TOLD IN FT MYRES TO STAY CLEAR OF HANGERS BUT I DID NOT LESSEN.

The old prosthetics Hangers made, gave me nothing but pain and discomfort. Each month adjustments were made with no good outcome.

My Ins. authorised Hanger to make another leg. I can't believe these *** used old pieces that they had in their parts room and passed this leg as new. I know this because the pipe was all scratched up, the foot was marked, ankle was old and not flexible and the cup was requiring

a total of 9 ply socks for my stump to fit. I was in shock looking at this product. I have enough to deal with not Hanger crooks.

Ok, before I looked at what was just made. Was asked by the tech if I would mind if I left my old leg with him to make adjustments. I took off my shoe and said OK. Now that I think of it he was after the mobile ankle that OPC had made for me.

The next month I returned and was told that I had never left a leg. I then told him he better find it, "you sat right next to me while I took off the shoe." His selective memory kicked in and told me he brought it to the other store. WHY!!!

Garbage product given to me the next month. Cant even get it to fit on my stump. I'm done with this company trash

Another RED FLAG that they thief are your supplies every 6 months. Make sure you leave with an invoice and it matches your product they give you or they will short you

The crooks will find anyway to steal from the handicap.

Right now I'm unable to walk.

HANGER you better hope your product didn't cause this!

Backbrace Needed Immediately

Waited on Insurance and couldnt get back brace! Finally ordered same one off Amazon for $88 and had in a couple days..

insurance finally 45

days I get the call to pickup!

I asked what the issue was and was told insurance.. when I did ask about more details and price is when she told me it was $845 for a brace that I needed that week after surgery to see what a rip off they try charging!

No way they will ever get my business again and always ask what the prices are before the hassle of insurance approval!

Refund

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

2 weeks no refund call no answers then after 40 mins on phone and 4 different people they said they would start my refund so it will be a month to get my money back but only 5 minutes to take it. To top it off I don't think that they care that no one did what they were supposed to and process my refund

Feet worse after hanger than before I started.

Contains 1 confidential file for company representatives

Went to Hanger to get new orthopedics after previous set from elsewhere were causing issues

Their new extreme correction ( exactly how my podiatrist described it) caused excessive stretching of tendons in my foot. Soon constant pain and inflammation.

I'm now out $ from follow up corrective surgery and still have new pains that were not present before Hanger.

The old orthopedics are back in the shoes now.

Really Bad Service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Hi Dr. Sharma,

Yesterday culminated in the continuing saga I have with Hanger Clinic.

As Tom Cruise stated in the Movie A Few Good Men, It just keeps on coming.

At your suggestion, I gave Hanger Clinic a third chance by going to their Savannah office on August 29th. I met with Eric and everything seemed ok. New measurements of my feet were taken and I was informed that the new orthotics as prescribed by you would be ready on September 19th in their Savannah office.

Last week either Thursday or Friday, I received a call confirming my appointment with Hanger Clinic for 3:00 pm in their Savannah office on September 19th. Since I just received a confirmation call, I did not think it was necessary to confirm that my new orthotics would be available also.

Big mistake. I made the trip to Savannah and in fact was early for the appointment. I was met by Eric and informed that the orthotics had not been received yet. Apparently, the right hand did not know what the left had was doing.

The call to confirm my appointment was done by an outside agency that had no knowledge of the status of my orthotics or any thing else for that matter. Also, Eric, who was in the office all morning long on Monday, did not bother to call me with the information that they had not received the orthotics. Silly me, I thought the third time would be a charm.

Eric made some adjustments to the last pair of orthotics and informed me that when the new orthotics arrive, he will mail them to me after phoning me that the new orthotics are on the way. Of course, he did not mention when that will happen but even if he did, I would not have given it and credence.

A sign in their office states that Hanger Clinic strives for a 10.

I think my view of them is so low that my number is below minus 200 degrees Celsius. If my experience is a sample of their professional service, I do not understand why that are still in business.

I'm currently getting the same run around. Make an appt and they call the day before or that's days to reschedule.

Same thing. Third time, again.

I gave up. If the socks and liners come in for my leg, umm GOING THEY WILL CALL ME.

Poor customer service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Ive been going to Hanger for over three years and this last prosthetic leg they made for me didnt feel right. I did some investigation and found out that this foot is a size 8 and I wear a size 11 and the heel is calibrated for 200 pounds and Im over 250. I was lied to!!!

Terrible experience at Hanger Clinic

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Original review updated Jul 28, 2021

This place deserves a ZERO for patient service. My Dr.

sent me Hanger in Savannah at 906 E 68th for for a set of orthotic supports for my shoes. I have arthritis in my feet and need some arch support. I drove all the way to Savannah where the young lady said according to her paperwork I was there to get measured for an ankle brace for my right foot. I told her I think she was wrong because my doctor and I had talked about getting measured for inserts for my shoes to help with some arthritis and arch support in both my feet.

She said NO my paperwork says to measure and fit you with an ankle brace for your Right foot and nothing about your left foot. I said no you must be mistaken can you check with my doctors office and get the right information. She said it was not her responsibility to call my doctor's office it was my responsibility. I told her I came all the way to Savannah and you don't even know why I am here.

I guess I need to just go home and find out why you folks don't have the right information. She just said "Have a Good Day -bye". This place has no customer/patient service what so ever. It is all about what it says on their paperwork.

No offer to help find out where the mix up is. Terrible! 3 days later I get a call from my doctors office saying they sent over the wrong prescription. REALLY?

About an hour later I get a call from Hanger Clinic wanting me to reschedule my appointment. NO THANK YOU! I wanted the Hanger Clinic to call my doctor's office to verify the prescription and they refused.

They were rude and they lost my confidence and trust in their ability to serve my needs. Very unfriendly place!

Having worked in that field for the last 10 years.... it IS her job to make sure she's doing what her patient needs.

I'm so sorry that you had to deal with someone so terribly rude.

Makes me wonder why some people are in the business of helping others, when they do just the opposite. I hope that you have found someone more qualified!

Have a similar bad experience at Hanger in Malta, NY. No help whatsoever regarding the paperwork they demand. Go anywhere but do NOT go to Hanger !

They're a pass through maybe a fraudulent operation

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I was in the middle of conducting a business transaction on May 6 when I was advised my credit score had gone from excellent to bad overnight causing an end to the transaction. After some research I found the source of the problem is a joint called Hanger Clinic in Laurel, Maryland.

I have absolutely no idea who these people are or what their problem is. Trying to get to the bottom of the problem and getting the jerks to correct the problem is being compounded by the COVID-19 shutdowns.

This could be a scam that I need to report to the Maryland Attorney General. BUnless you're looking for headaches I would stay far away from anyplace called Hanger Clinic, particularly in Laurel, Maryland.

As someone who had to file a complaint for fraudulent billing, yes, you need to look into this.... like REALLY look into it. You're not crazy, it's crooked.
