Patient Reviews
Nov 15, 2023
Dr Dierwechter operated on me for a previous hernia, and now I need another. I am so happy that she will be doing this next one. She’s extremely knowledgeable and has a wonderful way of connecting with others. I didn’t know what the problem was, but she was able to diagnose right away. She’s the best.
