Daniel L Wiernik, DPM

Podiatrist Dr Wiernik was not friendly and always seemed itching to get out of the exam room. I found my once good insurance turned into an in-​network only insurance. The only in-​network place I could find to take this insurance was this place. This practice seems to take all of the entry level insurances. His visits were very brief. Since I was in pain, needed a procedure and told myself a practice of orthopedists would not take on a bad podiatrist into their practice, I stuck with him. He was worse during the procedure. He arrived late, did not say hello to me or my family and was not personable. It was very tough to trust him.

Dr. Wiernik is one of the main reasons I signed up to Unilocal.I had an accident that a local hospital completely dropped the ball as far as diagnosing, identifying, or even acting concerned about. I essentially cut every ligament of my leg straight across my shin bone. I had no upward movement on my right foot and after letting it heal two weeks hoping for it to «fix itself» I returned to work and continued on with my life. Two months in I couldn’t handle the pain of my feet due to my foot slapping at the ground with every step. I regularly lift heavy objects, had been very active, and constantly am up and down unsteady structures as part of my job.
Needless to say I had enough and decided to go to a local Centra Care, the doctor failed to recognize that I had any damage to my leg. once again.
I found the Orlando Orthopaedic Center on lee road by chance on Google and scheduled a consultation. As soon. As Dr. Wiernik finished his short exam he said «We need to get you into surgery, like now». I am not one for trusting doctors or wanting to get sliced open, but I trusted this guy right off the bat.
A week later I was in their Downtown Orlando surgery center and was highly impressed with the smoothness of the process. Being in a cast for a few months was horrible but it’s been a year now and my leg is strong and I’m slowly getting back to the active life I used to have. This guy is golden with what he does.
A few months ago my wife cracked her toe under a chair and I took her to his office. He didn’t recognize me but treated my wife with the same professionalism he did with me. Some of the receptionists can be kind of snobby but the Doctor is who makes the office and saying you trust someone to cut you open is a huge thing.
