"Shout out to my surgeon Dr. James Appel 🙌🏽 and staff at Appel Wormer Esthetics! Megan & Dr. Appel were absolutely amazing during my entire process!!! Literally from my initial consultation in July 2025 through surgery (4/22/26), recovery, and now with my post op process! ❤️🩹 They were friendly and very welcoming EVERY time I came in for an appointment or called! They even helped with answering ALL of my questions —and baby I asked one million questions 😂! They made me feel comfortable and confident about my procedure! They eased all of the anxiety I was feeling and reassured me during surgery that I was in the best care! & I absolutely was in the BEST care!! 👌🏽💯 The surgical team was completely amazing!!! They treated my husband as if he were the patient too! They allowed him to be with me in the pre op room before surgery and while I was in the recovery room! They were very informative and made sure my husband knew everything he needed to know during the first 24hrs of care and days/weeks following!! I would recommend Appel Wormer Esthetics —Dr. James Appel, to any and every body!!!!"

He is extremely professional and responds to any and all concerns, even on weekends and after hours. He truly cares about his clients and that is obvious.

"I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Wormer and the entire staff at Appel Wormer Esthetics throughout the entire process of my breast augmentation - including consultation and thorough discussion of my options, pre-op appointments, the surgery itself, and post-op communication/appointments.My desired outcome from surgery was to fill out the stretched out skin from my twin pregnancy/breastfeeding journey, while achieving a very natural look. My biggest concern was that my breasts would look too large and/or "fake" and that it would be obvious that I had augmentation surgery.Dr. Wormer was very patient and understanding with my concerns, and took a lot of time talking through the options and answering all of my questions. He clearly understood my concerns, and at 3 months post-op now, I can say that he absolutely nailed the outcome I was hoping for.They also have a surgical suite right in their office, so the surgery itself felt very private and boutique in that I was the only person there. The nurses, anesthesiologists, support staff were solely focused on me that morning, and were all so kind and caring.I received follow up calls and texts from Dr. Wormer, the anesthetist, and office staff throughout the week following surgery, and just felt very taken care of overall.I highly recommend this practice and Dr. Wormer for a 5-star experience."
"I’ve had an incredible experience with Dr. Wormer. From start to finish, he has been nothing but compassionate and considerate. He takes the time to explain everything in detail, ensuring I understand each step of the process. Every time I see him, he greets me with a warm smile and shows genuine concern for my well-being. Before my surgery, he personally checked in, offering kind and reassuring words that truly put me at ease. It’s clear he truly cares about his patients"
"Dr. Wormer is also so professional and kind. I appreciate his ability to explain procedures and make sure I have all the information I need. His supporting staff are always helpful and ready to answer questions."

"In May 2021 I began to have L breast pain due to implants. It became hard, round and was lifting higher on my chest. I tried to ignore and deal with the pain. By August 2022 was having range of motion pain in both arms. Had a mammogram and got referred by my research to the best plastic surgeon for breast issues. I asked to be referred to Dr Wormer and I am so glad I did. He is kind, caring , listens (he had 2 Zoom calls with me after my first initial exam with him just to answer more questions. In Dec 2022 I had my surgery .. both ruptured implants removed and he also performed a breast lift. I was thrilled day one post op .. range of motion pain is gone.If you are looking for the best and with a plastic surgeon who cares .. do not hesitate.. call and make an appointment with Dr Wormer!!"
"I had reconstructive surgery due to breast cancer about 14 years ago. During an intense exercise session, the implants ruptured. It turned out to be a bit of an ordeal. I found out I could possibly have a rare form of cancer that is associated with ruptured implants. Then there was tons of additional testing and biopsies. Dr Wormer was so compassionate, informative, and professional throughout this process. He explained both potential and probable outcomes. He looks you in the eye, searches your face, and really tries to ensure you understand what he is explaining to you. He SHOWS you MRI results and explains what he see; he does not just dictate what he you should do based on what he alone saw. He allows you to ask question after question, and he strives to allay your concerns and fears. Even the nurses whispered to me before my surgery, "You got a good one; he's a good doctor." What a pleasant thought before going into surgery."
"Just want to give a huge shout out to Dr Wormer. My mom has complications from breast implants resulting from a mastectomy and Dr Wormer worked her in for emergency surgery today not ever having met her. My mom has had two sets of implants over the past 18 years and is now having complications and needs emergency surgery to remove one of the implants. The doctor that did both of her implants in the past would not come in to do the emergency surgery.Two doctors advocating for my mom called her previous doctor to tell him the gravity of the situation but because there was no money in this surgery, he refused to do it. Dr Wormer was no doubt sent by God to intervene on my mom’s behalf and I will be forever grateful. He actually cares about people and it’s not just about the money. He had no obligation to do this for my mom and actually had to cancel other patients to work her in. I can’t think of too many people that would do that for a stranger. If you are looking for a plastic surgeon, please go to Dr Wormer. He is an amazing man and his staff are most definitely angels! It’s important to know you have a doctor that going to be there for you in the future if you need him. I have no doubt that Dr Wormer will always be there for his clients! He’s just simply awesome!"
"Dr Wormer has been great for me an my Explant. He is very kind, knowledgeable and remembers who you are.

The heal is real and will take sometime after the Explant but Dr Wormer will be there the whole way. Thank you Dr Wormer and staff for believing in me and giving me back my health."
"My experience with Dr. Wormer has been amazing. As my surgeon for breast reconstruction after a mastectomy, he was very compassionate, patient, knowledgeable and kind, making this a positive experience for what was otherwise a very trying time.

"I went to Dr. Wormer’s office for a breast reduction. I was 30 years old and had had large breasts my entire life. I was reluctant to get surgery for many reasons, but mostly because I was afraid of surgery. For anyone out there that is in that situation now and reading this- Go through with breast reduction surgery!!! Dr. Wormer is the best, and everyone at the hospital told me so. He is knowledgeable, confident in his skills, kind, and professional. Surgery and recovery both went better than expected. I would choose Dr. Wormer because of his precision to accuracy, and the wonderful nurse and surgical team at Novant. I would consider my new breasts accurate in every sense of the word! Dr. Wormer and his team fought hard to get the surgery covered by my insurance, and were there every step of the way to answer questions."

"Dr. Wormer is one of the best Surgeon's in the Charlotte area! He has been just a wonderful and caring Dr to work with. His bedside manner is so heartfelt. He made me feel comfortable before, during and after my surgery. During my recovery he not the nurse but he contacted me and when I emailed the office he returned every single email himself. He listened to my concerns and gave his expert recommendations. I would recommend him above anyone else in Charlotte. Fyi...ladies he's easy on the eyes too!! Just an added bonus! Lol..."
"Excellent surgeon! I had breast reconstruction with fat grafting after having had a mastectomy 21 years ago.Very happy with the results. Have had numerous plastic surgeons over the years and he is by far the best. Very skilled, professional and caring. Would highly recommend!"
"Sometimes in life you meet a 'real live hero', I have met such a person, his name is Dr. Blair Wormer. I know this sounds a bit like hyperbole, let me explain. My journey started some 6 years ago when I had a bilateral mastectomy, something no woman ever thinks will be in her future. My general surgery was uneventful. Regrettably, the reconstruction was cosmetically and aesthetically subpar. Unfortunately, over time I considered the outcome my lot and resigned to live with the results. Time and health issues again raised their heads and with this I actively sought out a new surgeon. From the first consultation I was asked "what do you want and how can I help". Dr Wormer not only listened but heard me. The interaction was active, receptive and sensitively handled. I am now past the surgery and I have a chest wall with two albeit small new girls sitting atop. They no longer reside under my armpits! and for the first time I can actually wear a bra--and maybe a bathing suit soon--it's the small things really. To say I am pleased is an understatement. Dr. Wormer is on so many levels an amazing surgeon and he will always have my heartfelt gratitude."
"Dr. Wormer is the best in the business in my opinion. He is very humble and friendly. My experience with him was everything that I could imagine. It was a pleasure to have him as my surgeon. Also the staff at Brunswick Ave was fabulous as well. Happy Holidays to each of you."
"I received excellent care during my visits with Dr. Wormer at Appel Plastic Surgery. He explained everything to me during my consultation, was very thorough in answering all of my questions, and was wonderful during my pre-surgery visit and my surgery. My surgery went great, and all of my follow-up appointments included chances to go over my questions about my surgery and my recovery. I would definitely recommend Dr. Blair Wormer and the staff at Appel Plastic Surgery! I always received excellent care and a prompt response to any questions I had via telephone."
"It's almost been two months since I had my bilateral reduction. I am thrilled with my outcome. Dr. Wormer and his staff are amazing! From the consultation to my third week follow up has been nothing but great. Dr. Wormer is very patient and takes the time to talk and explain everything that you have questions about. Jennifer gets right on top of any papers that you need completed by the office. The front desk admins are so sweet to you. I'm so happy that I was referred to this office. Thanks to Dr. Wormer I have my confidence back."
"Dr. Wormer is wonderful ! Extremely kind , great bedside manner , and just and overall wonderful doctor. He changed my life and love my results from my breast augmentation !!! I highly recommend him , he’s amazing 😉!"
"Before and after my bilateral mastectomy for breast cancer Dr. Wormer cared to know my areas of concern and thought outside the box to help me meet my goals. He utilized fat from my abdomen to reconstruct without breast implants. I am very happy with the outcome. I cannot say enough about his gentleness, patience and genuine caring. To top it off he is a highly skilled surgeon!"
