John J Wernert, III, MD

"Stay away. This joker had me SO over medicated and was also pushing MY religion to help me. I had NEVER doubted what God could do. After two virtual visits, he overhauled my mental health prescriptions and proceeded to over medicated me. When I told him I was sick and shaking from what he had prescribed, I was told "this is not a medicine issue". A caring Wilethia Durham noticed my tremors in a virtual visit and suggested I see a neurologist to make sure something was not being overlooked. Kathleen Guest ordered a DATscan which showed low dopamine intake indicative of Parkinsonism. Thank you to the other people that gave similar reviews. I feel vindicated. I am grateful the Lord led me out of this man's practices. My prayers go out for anyone that crosses his "medical" path."

"Dr. Wernert is my hero he saved me from the worst depression I’ve ever experienced, he is so amazing quickly responds to you, if you are experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, you need to speak with this doctor. He is amazing."

"Do yourself a favor and bypass this man. I felt more triggered then help after the 40 minute telehealth appointment we had. I have suffered from Depression and Anxiety for 20+ years off and on. I have been in many of therapy settings but none quite like this. This Doctor took one looked at my very complicated medical history and determine I was not depressed and I also did not have anxiety. Instead I am going through things and feeling down, hopeless, and unhappy were natural responses to my situation. He told me I was over medicated and if I came off of these I would be more mobile and no longer disabled. I have a very rare neurological disorder and that is why I have those troubles. Not because of my mood medications. He talked the entire time and never once ask me any questions about my mental health and what was going on in my life past or present that would have gave him some insight about my mental health. He also removed things from my medical record without my permission and when questioned why he removed Fibromyaglia from my history(which was just one thing removed) he responded because that it was mostly a physiological disorder. I felt judged and like he believe nothing the prior therapist had told him about me. He also told me that depression is when everything in your life is going right and you just fall into darkness. He did not even ask if that scenario fit me or not. What about when I lost my brother to COVID? Was I not depressed about it when I cried all day for 6 months? He told me you should only be on antidepressants for 6 months max....what about everyone, including myself who have been on them for years? Every other psychiatrist is unaware of that "rule'? He had alot of opinions that went against everything I was taught previously about my depression and anxiety. He judged me before we spoke one sentence to each other and he was THE WORST PSYCHIATRIST I HAVE EVER CAME ACROSS! Run away as fast as possible!"

"I had a virtual consult with Dr. Wernert and he was extremely understanding, very logical and comforting. Thanks, Mandy"

"Backstory On January 3rd I had a heart surgery. When I awoke I learned my only child, a daughter of 15yrs, committed suicide. I had already had anxiety disorder all my life so you can imagine I'm a wreck. Whats the good doctor say? Anxiety is my friend. On top of it all I learned Friday that when my lease on my appartment ends in March I will be homeless. The new owner isn't signing new leases. Surprise! Had an appointment with his counselor today just to wake up and learn its been canceled. Next available appointment is in 4 weeks. I'll be homeless by then. Thanks alot for nothing "doc"."
