Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Have been a patient for more than 10 years.

Dr.werwrath treated me for a recent illness ,I’ve been a patient of his for 5 years. His entire staff including his P.A’S,ESPECIALLY Jacqueline are all amazing. She had personally called me to see how I was feeling after the medication. A few days later she did a follow up call. You just don’t see that anymore. The entire staff is very sincere, Dr. Werwath is the most professional caring doctor I have ever met in my entire life. I have found his approach to be very fundamental he believes and blood work before anything, he’s very compassionate and tells you exactly how he feels.I can only express how grateful I am for his staff and their approach on getting me healthy with the recent pandemic

Dr. Werwath has been my PCP for several years. He in my opinion is the best diagnostician in Virginia Beach. Being an ex-ER physician gives him a tremendous amount of knowledge in so many areas. His laid back attitude is refreshing and he accepts your suggestions without hesitation. His staff is also great!

Very refreshing and confidence building to work with a no nonsense no BS type of a me me individual. The care i received has been from a consummate Medical Professional that is "truly" concerned with 'All' aspects of a [new or seasoned patient" without any concern about Imrpessing the patient about who he is, you! the patient is the sole focus of his time spent understanding who you are , ergo the patient is subliminally aware of this and becomes better able to communicate their condition Yes!

He is also so nice and helpful when I ever come in for an appointment. He always remembers everything we have previously talked about. After major appointments where medications got added or dropped or so on he has called and checked up on me. He is great!

I was referred to Dr. Werwath by other members of the Virginia Beach medical/surgical community and friends when I moved to the area 11 years ago. He is an amalgam of medical expertise, benevolence, professionalism and humor. I appreciate his flexibility when I have a last-minute concern (a true medical emergency specialist), and his staff is a fitting reflection of the qualities he expects of himself and others. I would be remiss not to highly commend -- and recommend -- him!
