Patient Reviews
Sep 25, 2023
I read many reviews before I consulted Dr Worsey and I want to share this to help others understand that Dr Worsey and Dr Biermeister are the best Surgeons, Dr’s and more importantly, the most amazing humans that we have ever had the privilege to meet and so very blessed that I put my life in their hands. I was referred to them by my GP after a serious issue with diverticulitis. He immediately diagnosed that there was an abscess and went over my options. When doing so, he sat across from me and looked me in the eye to explain everything. There was no looking at a PC or any distractions. He gave me his undivided attention and pragmatically laid everything out. I needed a colon resection to remove the damaged area. They are the most communicative team and laid out everything I needed to be ready and what was going to happen. The surgery ended up more invasive and I truly feel the saved my life and gifted me normalcy. I hope you have the fortune to meet them. I am blessed for it
