This was my first visit to Tri-State Orthopaedics. I was greeted warmly by the receptionist and the nurse who checked me in was friendly and efficient. I had contact with another nurse and a NP all of whom put me at ease. Dr. Werries was friendly but to the point. I was confident in his diagnosis and was happy with his treatment plan. I do recommend Dr. Werries based on my first visit.
