    Very knowledgeable and we are grateful for that. He is attentive as long as you can actually get in to see him. Would have loved to know that our at home IV antibiotics were going to cost a bazillion dollars and that Medicare would not pay a cent of it.but thank heavens we found out before leaving the hospital and were able to change the plan of care. But Hes awesome no matter!

    Dr. Haller took the time to explain what was done and what still needs to be done for me to recover 100%... he is a great listener and he has alot of empathy for his patients... if you can choose your Orthopedic doctor I would highly recommend Dr. Haller
