Diabetic.
5 stars Carolyn L Customer since 2022
Dr. Werd has treated my plantar fasciitis for almost a year. His keen skill at utilizing ultrasound, x-ray technology as well as using listening and diagnostic knowledge to assess the status. The offer of cortisone to ease any discomfort is routinely made, and though I am able to maintain a low level of discomfort, I have not chosen to use injections yet.
The support of the nursing staff and administrative system is outstanding; the office uses the most current telephone reminder system as well as mobile device text services.
Dr. Werd’s office and patient rooms are attractive with all equipment right at hand. I especially enjoy viewing the various photographic images of his triathlon experiences in various locations. His contributions to the Lakeland community are many!!
I would recommend Dr. Werd to my friends and family.
