David Wernsing Bariatric Surgeon MD, FACS

My first impression was that he was a young doctor, but if he studied at Pennsylvania Hospital, he will be good.

Well, I was going to go with a doctor who has known me all my life, because my dad works in the O.R. with him, however, his techniques from what I heard were a little bit behind the times, so I decided to stay with Dr. Wernsing.

Office staff is very together, being that the program just started at Underwood, the staff should really become more knowledgable of the procedure, hence I recommended this website to them.

Since I havent had the surgery yet, I will have to answer the other questions at a later date. :)

Very young, but very informative and concerned for my current condition.

Would like him to have talk with me more prior to surgery.

Very considerate and accomatable, but seem to need more help at times when busy.

The fact that they did not call after surgery.

He is an excellent surgeon and does a very good incision.

Very good doctor for first time weight loss surgery patients.

Most of the after care was given to me by my nutritionnist which she was appointed to me by Dr. Wersning.

Not at this time, they are still working on getting together some aftercare support groups, which I think will be greatly helpful.

Overall I think my surgeon would receive a 8 out of 10 being outstanding.

Surgical Copetence was wonderful, would like to have seen the doctor with co-assocites rather then co-associates only at times.

All of these answers are of my sole oppinion of myself and family and I feel very good about the whole experience.

DR. WERNSING IS GREAT. I WAS SUPRISED AT HOW YOUNG HE IS!!!! HE SPENT AN HOUR WITH ME, TALKING ABOUT THE SURGERY AND ANSWERING ALL MY QUESTIONS. HE LOOKED ME IN THE EYE AND REALLY PAID ATTENTION TO WHAT I WAS SAYING!
HIS OFFICE STAFF IS GREAT!!! THEY WERE NICE AND FUNNY AND THEY WERE VERY SUPPORTIVE OF MY DECISION TO HAVE THE SURGERY.
I DON'T THINK THERE IS A TOPIC THAT HE DIDN'T DISCUSS WITH ME ABOUT THE SURGERY. WE TALKED ABOUT THE DIFFERENT TYPES(INCLUDING THE ONE HE WOULD BE PERFORMING), THE BENEFITS, THE RISKS AND WHAT TO EXPECT PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY AFTER SURGERY!!!
I FEEL SO COMFORTABLE IN MY CHOICE OF SURGEONS!!!!
THE ONLY THING THAT I DIDN'T LIKE WAS THAT I HAD TO TRAVEL OVER TWO HOURS TO HIS OFFICE. I WAS ALSO THE YOUNGEST PATIENT IN THAT CROWDED WAITING ROOM BY ABOUT 40 YEARS..I FELT A LITTLE OUT OF PLACE AT FIRST
