Officials with the Cass County Health System (CCHS) have announces a new orthopedic partnership with Des Moines Orthopaedic Surgeons (commonly known as DMOS), and Dr. Matthew Weresh.  Beginning July 11, 2017,  Dr. Weresh will provide care in Atlantic two days per week.

CCHS CEO Brett Altman says “Dr. Weresh is one of the top-ranked orthopedic surgeons in the upper Midwest.  Under his quality care, we are confident our patients will receive the very best in orthopedic services while enjoying the convenience of their local hospital.”

Altman noted that Weresh grew up in Atlantic, and has previously provided outpatient services at CCHS.  He said “Dr. Weresh is familiar with Atlantic and CCHS, but the difference now is that with our new Southwest Iowa Surgery Clinic space, operating rooms, and state-of-the-art orthopedic equipment, we are equipped to provide almost all orthopedic surgical procedures so that our patients won’t have to travel long distances for surgery.”

Dr. Weresh provides a wide scope of orthopedic services, including total knee and hip replacement, fracture care, treatment of rotator cuff (shoulder), and hand injuries.  He enjoys working with all age groups, including adolescents and pediatrics.  Jennifer Pieper, PA-C (Certified Physician’s Assistant) will accompany Dr. Weresh to Atlantic. Jennifer has an extensive background in orthopedic treatments and will also be seeing patients under the supervision of Dr. Weresh.

Appointments for Dr. Weresh will be accepted beginning mid-June. Watch for further information regarding appointment scheduling.
