It was a struggle to see dr. verner to be honest. I had to wait 3 months and then another 4 months for surgery. Now I know why, he and his staff are very kind and helpful.

Dr. Verner and his nurse Kelly have been so kind to me. I went into his office 6 months ago feeling helpless. I was disappointed I was unable to have my surgery sooner, he was worth the wait! Thank you Dr. Verner and Nurse Kelly!!!

Dr. Verner delivers results. He was recommended to me by a previous patient of his. Within just a few weeks of surgery I was back to many of my normal activities.
