Dr. Werninghaus performed a surgical treatment on my hand that required removal of multiple cysts and removal of some damage in a finger joint while working around the ligaments. The surgery went perfectly. I followed all recovery instructions which I feel is very important. My hand is better than ever and back to normal.

I am writing to warn anyone considering Plastic Surgery to stay clear of Dr. Werninghaus. She is a awful communicator; even her own staff made comments and complaints about it. Her lack of skills cost me quite a lot of additional pain and suffering.

I sought a second opinion from Dr. Werninghaus, and instead of a professional opinion, it contained logic out of an old wives' tale. Stay away from this doctor.

Dr, Werninghaus was very professional and caring. I enjoyed talking to her and she was informative and sensitive to my needs. Dr. Werninghaus is a good asset to the medical profession.

Dr. Werninghaus' CV looks good on paper, but her manner is extremely unprofessional and rude. She needs to take some courses in sensitivity training.
