Dr. Wera is simply AMAZING!!! My mom's case was very complicated since she broke her femur in 4 places!!! We are BEYOND thrilled with the care that Dr. Wera has provided. Personally, my mom's FULL recovery at her age is nothing short of miraculous. His surgical expertise is bar none! And on top of that, the way he personally spoke and cared for my mom was the icing on the cake. He listened to her attentively, answered all her questions and concerns in an easy going and understandable manner. We are so blessed and grateful to have had Dr. Wera care for my mother!!!!
