    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.
