AWESOME!!!! A+ Experience. I had a total hip replacement by Dr. Bremner in January 2019. Dr. Bremner is a great physician as well as his staff. Couldn't ask for a better ortho and very grateful to have him in Des Moines. From fast appointments to diagnosis, treatment, surgery, and back to normal activities. Even some light and select physical activities after only 6 weeks. Highly recommend Dr. Bremner and very appreciative.
