You have landed on this website for a reason. It is very likely that you or a loved one are experiencing a serious medical issue. Maybe you are feeling overwhelmed by confusing and conflicting information? Perhaps you are lost in a healthcare system that is complicated and opaque? It might be that you are having trouble making difficult decisions regarding your healthcare or choosing a healthcare provider. Knowledge is your Advantage!
What if you could speak with an experienced physician who could teach you about your condition and help you understand test results and treatments? Suppose that a knowledgeable doctor could help you formulate questions for your doctors and translate complex medical terms into simple language? Perhaps you need an expert to help you navigate the healthcare system? Suppose you had an MD Advantage?
My name is Darryl Jonathan Werner, MD and I began practicing medicine in 1988 after graduating from the University of Southern California School of Medicine. I completed my internship and residency in Emergency Medicine at Harbor UCLA Medical Center and entered community medical practice in 1991. I’ve been board certified in Emergency Medicine and in Hyperbaric and Undersea Medicine. During my career, I served as the Medical Director of an emergency department and trauma center. I subsequently founded a successful medical practice specializing in healing complex wounds. After retiring from medical practice in 2020, I reinvented myself as a medical school professor and a healthcare consultant.
After more than 35 years in the medical profession, I understand how healthcare works and I know how to solve problems.
When we work together, I will be your personal healthcare consultant and navigator. I will teach you to understand your medical condition as well as your test results and treatments. I will guide you to form questions and help you to communicate with your physicians as an informed patient or advocate with high expectations. We may identify a medical oversight, new ideas, or question charges that seem excessive. You will learn to navigate a confusing healthcare system and become empowered to take charge.
I can be your personal healthcare consultant, but I am not able to be your doctor. I do not diagnose, treat or prescribe for your physical or mental condition. You already have at least one physician, and I am here to help you to succeed with that doctor. Any ideas I may share are educational only. You should always discuss my ideas with your medical professionals and adhere to their recommendations.
Our first 15-minute session is free.
Let me know how I can be Your MD Advantage!
