Dr. Darryl Charles Wenner, DO

Dr. Wenner treated me in ER. Care was excellent.

I had a gash on my face when a wood beam fell and hit me during a DIY project. Dr. Wenner gave me three stitches on my cheek and did a great job. Other than some redness you would never know I got stitches.

On the Monday before thanksgiving I was seen in Olean General Emergency room following a visit to urgent care for a burn on my hand which had resulted in cellulitis. The plan was to receive an antibiotic intravenously for my first dose to get it into my system quickly and start treating the cellulitis, and then continue the antibiotic at home. The antibiotic started and all was going okay for the first couple minutes. Then out of nowhere I started noticing that my arm was itching and my face and chest felt like they were on fire. Everything was itching... I pressed my call button and the nurse answered promptly. I said one word... “itchy” and in the time that she went to get doctor Wenner my throat began to get tight. Dr. Wenner looked at me once... for a split second and immediately sprang into action. He called for epinephrine and did everything that he could to help me. He tried to calm me and tipped my head back giving me just a few more seconds that I needed to breathe... before… I knew it I couldn’t take any air in or get any air out... dr. Wenner made the call to intubate which saved my life. I was able to wake up to my family and be extubated on thanksgiving... if Dr. Wenner wouldn’t have acted as quickly and as text book perfectly as he did... I would be dead. He made the call that saved my life and I’m forever grateful.. sometimes there’s no way to predict how somebody will respond to certain treatments.. but he certainly made the best of the situation.
