Dr Werries is awesome
Back surgery a huge success. At 11.5 weeks and released to ease back into normal life. No restrictions on bending, twisting or lifting. But told to gradually increase activities. Since the beginning doc has been straight forward when answering my questions and also guiding me to other activities based on healing progress.
Business like quick and pretty thorough.
Dr Werries is awesome, he truly cares about me as a patient and as a person. Workers Comp injuries can be stressful and uncertain he doesn't try to push you back to work until he is satisfied that you can return 100%. He made the whole WC process less stressful.
If this response section is character limited, then please call me. I’m a big fan of tri-state and have had wonderful experiences with Dr. kann, Dr Campbell and a shoulder doctor. Today’s visit with Dr Werries was a complete waste of my time. His consultation consisted of him showing me the X-ray, said I had some arthritis, which is normal and not new news to me. That I had some disc compression. He asked me to touch my toes. Asked if the Chiropractor I saw was just adjusting me or providing stretching recommendations . It’s the latter. He said you need to strengthen your core, do the stretches your chiro suggested. There was a single questionabout how the injury occurred, what limitations or pain I had/was experiencing. Didn’t ask me to move any particular way to see where the pain occurred. Did not ask what stretches the chiro suggested nor did Dr. Werries suggest any stretches for me. Again, complete waste of my time.
This gentleman is one of the best. Both surgeries he performed for me have healed quickly & with minimal pain.
He was very caring and did not rush and answered all my questions
Did not see Dr. Werries. Instead a PA or a young physician (not sure) came and spoke to me.
Competent, yes. Personable, no.
Dr. Werries was very attentive in listening to the pain issues I’ve been experiencing. He told me what his thoughts were that’s causing my pain and sending me for a test to confirm.
