About
The practice was opened by Dr. Werther in May 2001 as Oral & Facial Surgery Group, P.C. According to the website, Dr. Werther graduated D.M.D. magna cum laude from Harvard School of Dental Medicine, then came to Nashville in 1986 to continue his studies in oral and maxillofacial surgery. He received his M.D. from Vanderbilt in 1988 and completed his general surgery internship and his residency in oral and maxillofacial surgery in 1991. He completed a fellowship in Facial Cosmetic Surgery at Northwestern University in Chicago and returned to Vanderbilt as full-time faculty in oral and maxillofacial surgery, where, as director of Facial Plastic Surgery, he helped integrate cosmetic and reconstructive facial surgery into the training of more than 20 residents before entering private practice. His surgical philosophy is described as “total facial analysis followed by individualized harmonious correction of skeletal, soft tissue and dental tissues to provide optimum facial balance.”
