Hanger Clinician Certification?

Not so great news! There is now a Hanger Office located in the medical building where my surgeon formerly officed.

The clinician name on the door is David Sharma.

The bad new ... according to the American Board for Certification in Orthotics and Prosthetics website, David Sharma is not a certified clinician.

The absence of his name in both the ABC book and the BOC book leads me to question whether David Sharma has either a license or certification to practice O&P.

My question to CIGNA and Linkia ... is this what you mean when you say I am provided with a "uniform level of quality and care"?

Oh well ... there is a Susan Sharma listed on the ABC website as working with Hanger in Phoenix. Reportedly, this is David's sister. Perhaps, with Hanger, having a certified relative makes you qualified to provide a uniform level of quality and care!
