Dr Wertman has been my Ortho doctor for years. He's done several of my surgeries. He is absolutely amazing and I would recommend him to anyone that needs any kind of ortho.
Was on time, explained everything. Great staff
Very caring. Very professional
Best doctor I ever had
Professional and listened to what I was saying. Formulated game plan for treatment.
Dr. Wertman and the entire staff I interacted with were great. The Doc was very personable, knowledgeable and answered all my questions and gave me info to choose the correct path.
Dr Wertman, gets my thumbs up. He is very professional, but has a very sweet personality. I was treated by him and I have no complaints. Only high praise.
Outstanding Surgeon, highly recommend ed.
I have known for the last couple of years that I need to have carpal tunnel surgery. I had a consultation in the past with an orthopedic surgeon and he did not give me the options that Dr. Wertman did today. I appreciate Dr Wertman giving me several options and giving me the autonomy to make my own decision on how to go forward with the best plan of care for me!
Very thorough and thoughtful.
