I found Dr Wernsing to be wonderful. He was my savior! He comes in, and gets down to business. The program at Pennsylvania Hospital is great.

i met him last year when my sister went for her visit before surgery. he was very informative and the he was very honest.it was a one on one visit. this time is my turn and he came out and said that since everyone he will explain as a group. he did very well and he still said the same things i remember.
i really feel confortable with him.
i recommend people who are in need of this surgery to look him up. my sister had very good results and i know that i will too.
he explained the fact that this operation can lead to serious problem if we don`t follow up with the changes that we need to do to make this work he explained the risk of the surgery without sugar on it. and he said that we should not stop reading and reseaching this procedure and the aftercare.
i would rate him 10/10.i have not had the surgery yet but from visiting my sister after she had her surgery he over all manner,bedside,teatment etc.. was the best.

At first I thought Dr. David Wernsing was young to be a GI Surgeon. However, although young, he is very knowledged, Kind, and informative. His staff is great, especially Nurse Cindy Naus. When I walk in I'm greeted by name, and with a smile. They're also quick, and get the job done.

I can't say there is anything I really dislike about Dr. Wernsing.

I'm not sure how much he emphasizes about aftercare.. I dont think he is going to leave me high and dry, so far I've only had a 2 week post op appointment, and am set up for my 6 week post-op.

He was point blank about the risks of surgery. He didnt sugar coat anything.

I would rate Dr. Wernsing a 10 out of 10.

I had my initial consult with Dr. Wernsing on August 25th. He talked to 5 of us as a group first and then saw us individually. He sounded knowledgable, smiled, but seemed to be rushing around from room to room. To soon for my real opinion---this is just my first impression. More to come later.

I met with Dr. Kirkland'd partner Dr Wernsing. He was very nice and informed. He gave a very general speech about how the surgery is done and some of the things to expect. I think that he was a little short with him one on one consult. Overall I hope to have a the surgery with him within the next month or two. He did spent some time talking about the risk factors of infection and maybe having to be reopened if there are problems.

Dr. Wernsing is one of the most wonderful people i know. Brilliant surgeon, caring professional....came to see me every single day....i would recommend him to anyone....he literally saved my life :)

I find Dr Wernsing very freindly and approachable. His office staff is helpful and respectful. Both his surgical competence and bedside manner are great.
He thoroughly covers the entire gamut of the procedure, who qualifies and possible complications.

Dr. Wernsing works with Dr. Kirkland at Pa hospital. I found him utterly delightful. I researched every doctor annd i waited 7 months just to get a consultation with Dr Wernsing. I am so glad i waited. he's funny, easygoing and down to earth. he listens to all you have to say and answers every question with a complete answer. he told me all of the negative and positive things about the surgery, he also explained why he thought a different type of surgery than the one i wanted would be easier on me. one thing he does seem to like is the fact that i had talked to other wls patients and had researched the surgery for so long before i jumped into it. i think he likes people who know exactly what wls takes. i would have to rate him a 10!!!! he was well worth my wait!!!
