Dr Werner is so ON IT! When she enters the room, I feel lilke my own personal angel has arrived. The questions she asks make it clear she has reviewed my records and is interested in my health. She doesn't hesitate to call me on the carpet for some of the bad habits I have picked up during COVID (like my diet and lack of exercise). She makes sure I am addressing all of my health issues, not just my cancer. Esther is wonderful too. She is so thoughtful and caring. Together, both Dr Werner and Esther Kannapel are a formidable team--I feel like my cancer wouldn't dare show it's face again around these two!!!

Dr Werner is the Best Oncologist I've ever had: I've had 3: Univ of Wisconsin: Dr Rice (Excellent)& Some doc in Univ. of CO: more interested in my necklace. Werner is Knowledgeable & Professional, but she is So Nice & Very Easy to talk to. She is concerned with the mental emotional aspect as well as the physical issues at hand. All information & Options are addressed & discussed. if a question is still out there when she leaves the room, I am given a call & decisions are made. I appreciate Her entirely as My Oncologist & Trust Her Research & Understandings of Medicine always being updated constantly. She gives me Peace of Mind. I am able to Heal: Emotionally, Spiritually, Mentally, & Physically! Thank You Huntsman for having the Best Physician Nurse Team Ever: Dr Werner & Stephanie.
