Dr. Warner spent a good amount of time examining my spine and questioning me about my symptoms. He explained his findings and clearly presented a process to move forward with treatment. I am not happy that I am faced with a painful deteriorating spine, but am confident that Dr. Warner is an excellent surgeon that will do his best to help me with my spine ussues.

Dr. Warner is an excellent surgeon and very knowledgeable in his field of expertise. The outcome of the surgery performed by Doctor Warner and his team exceeded my expectations. The pre-surgery symptoms were quickly worsening. The left leg experienced numbness from the hip down, along with weakness and loss of strength. After the surgery the symptoms have been much improved. Numbness has decreased and strength has improved.
