Dr. Christine Werner, MD

Stay away from her. After my first C-section with my first child, except for the formal check up in hospital, she did not call me to ask me anything about my recovery. I had several miscarriages over a few years following my first baby. The first time I had a miscarriage, she conducted a D&C, and the nurse who worked with her never followed up on my recovery. The second miscarriage was because she did not realize or think I am a high-risk pregnancy. My miscarriage resulted in extremely heavy bleeding and I ended up at the ER, which was super dangerous and bad, my husband thought I would pass away that day! Even with this, I never received any return call from her. Another OB in the clinic who did my emergency procedure in the ER called me twice to ask me how I was doing. After I had my miscarriage, she still sent me for a 20 weeks genetic check because her nurse did not cancel the appointment after my miscarriage, and it had not been explained to me properly what the appointment was

Dr. Werner has been my OBGYN for 7 years. She has delivered all 3 of my children through high risk pregnancies. She is knowledgeable, compassionate and thorough. I would absolutely recommend her.

I am 16 weeks pregnant with our first baby. My husband and I have been going to to Dr. Christine Werner’s at Overlake Ob/Gy to follow our pregnancy. Last visit decided that it would be our last appointment with her. She came into the appointment almost 30 minutes late. My husband and I had a list of questions and when we were asking her about how we were confused about the age of our baby she just said - “I don’t have time for those questions” she was visibly angry and cold as ice. She was so upset she had to step outside and calm down. This doctor is not only not empathetic but is not professional . I would never trust her with my health or my baby’s. Needles to say, at the end of the appointment we told her we would definitely switch providers. I am praying that we find a compassionate provider who actually cares about her patients. ?? ??

Chose dr. Werner because my preferred ob was retired. The experience was not good. I had a miscarriage and they had me sitting in the public waiting room, while my emotion is draining, and I feel humiliated. Aweful! Also her admin Christina gave a lot of wrong advise in email exchange for my questions, like it’s ok to carry weights and ok to eat deli meat. Misleading! Would not come back for her team again.

I'm in the second trimester of my first pregnancy and I was recommended to Dr. Werner by a member at my gym. My husband and I could not be happier with her! She's very prompt, listens intently, and is of course very knowledgeable in every aspect and keeps us calm during any questions or concerns we have. She also responds quickly to messages on her online portal. We're very very happy with her!!!

Would not recommend

Dr. Werner is amazing. I had the opportunity to meet her during my first pregnancy and had wished she were my primary. She takes the time to listen. You never feel rushed. I chose her to deliver my second child and the experience was everything I wanted. Highly recommend!

Dr Werner was my doctor for two of my pregnancies. During the first one, my experience was fine. It was a smooth pregnancy and I didn't have much to discuss with her. The second pregnancy had some issues and she was rude when I needed reassurance. She was almost always late, in a couple of instances an hour, would step in without an apology and in a bad mood. And then would be outright rude to some of my questions. I obviously won't go back to her.

I've had two babies with Dr. Werner, plus general gynecological care and couldn't recommend her highly enough! She is always ready to listen, always has time for every question, but still runs generally on time in her practice...which is not easy to do as an obstetrician/gynecologist. She's an excellent surgeon with a rare, genuine bedside manner. No big doctor ego here! I work in the medical field as a biller, and so I'm picky when it comes to my doctors.

I was feeling sudden and quite severe itching all over the body by late evening while I was in my early 3rd trimester & wanted to know if it was an emergency. I called the 24*7 nurseline & I was assigned to Dr.Werner. She couldn't care less. Her words were highly irresponsible, insensitive and rude. She even ended up cutting the call abruptly while I was still talking. One of the worst experiences ever.

I do not recommend Dr. Werner for complicated issues with pelvic pain or hormonal problems. Found other doctors who would take me seriously and confirmed my suspicions of the root issue. She was a good doctor for my pregnancy and it was disappointing that she wouldn't work with me on other problems that should be in her expertise.

She was oncall doctor when I delivered my baby. My baby was premature and she helped me to do normal delivery. She has good sense of humor and presence of mind. Highly recommended.

I highly recommend Dr . Werner She is excellent at her job he is so caring about her patients and have time to answer all your questions even if you think they are silly ones. She knows what is doing as I lost my energy during delivering my baby and thought that I couldn't make it naturally and my husband told her she is tired do C- section for her she told him no , she can do it and entered the room and she gave me the power by her words and I did it and delivered my healthy baby.
