I have been a client of Alyson for years. People have commented about how great my skin looks, especially for being over 50. She knows her craft - even down to knowing if I have been eating properly based on my skins texture and reaction during visits. She is the absolute best and a gem of a human too! Everyone at Appel Wormer Esthetics have been friendly and helpful! I live 45 minutes away but am wiling to travel because I trust them with my skin 100%.

Where is the app for 10 stars?! - I have been Dr. Wormer's patient since 2020. I am a TNBC survivor. He did my initial surgery and my female family members were speechless after they saw my breast reconstruction surgery. My results were far beyond amazing. It didn't appear that I had a double breast mastectomy 4 months before reconstruction with Dr. Wormer. There are thin scars on each side of my breasts which appear to look like natural veins and my breasts look so natural, i.e. he was able to preserve my nipples. Dr. Wormer is one of the best in his industry. After 3 years I am prepping for my next breast surgery with him and I can assure you, it will be another amazing result! The staff, everyone there are simply fantastic. I hear Dr. Appel is just as amazing as Dr. Wormer. I will be back to give an update after my surgery in mid-July. So, grateful to God for giving me, Dr. Wormer.
