Dr Wertman performed a surgery on my hand after an animal bite and did a great job. Everything is healing as it should and I've had very minimal pain. The pain I did have has been managed with OTC meds. I really like how direct and to the point he is and how he wasn't wasting any more time on my injury due to the extent of infection.

Excellent follow up on last week’s surgery. Only waited about 20 minutes. My surgical wraps were removed. He explained the next step, healing, before moving on to physical therapy. Excellent surgical procedure, thorough follow up appointment. Dr Wertman is excellent!

I believe Dr. workman did an excellent job of not only diagnosing my issues but the treatment and the time he spent explaining things to me and the staff was excellent. I couldn’t ask for a better group to look after my issues and provide me treatment. I found the staff and Dr. workman to be cordial professional, and they took the time to provide me the care that one would expect five stars is not enough

I can't remember when I have felt so cared for. The nurses saw to it that I had what I needed to be as comfortable and warm as possible. They were friendly and listened to me and my concerns, putting me at ease. Dr. Wertman is a friendly and caring doctor, explaining the procedure to me so I would know what to expect. All-in-all it was a very good experience.

Dr. Wertman is very knowledge and offers different solutions before jumping into surgery. Surgery will be the final solution but he has been patient, understanding and kind as he has been treating me. I haven’t seen many doctors in the past few years willing to take the time. Especially with older patients who need a little extra care. Thank you!
