I first was introduced to Dr. Warnock approximately 2007 when he casted a broken growth plate in my 18 month old sons ankle. He was incredibly compassionate and informative as to what the injury was and his plan for action. Very Impressed. In 2011, My wife went to see him over severe pain in her knees that was a result of surgeries back in 2002. He was quick to assess the situation and with great advise and no surgery, she was back to running around non stop without delay. I have been a police officer for 21 years and have had so many broken bones and surgeries, I hesitate to count. I would like to make a better story but I was "taken out" by my sons razor scooter and destroyed 2 major ligaments in my left shoulder. I tore two of them completely in half and they also split. The prognosis was not good and it may have been the end of my career. With his direct and honest opinion he stated he would do everything he could to fix it. I had little doubt. Prayers went to his hands and my healing. After a 5 hour surgery, he was able to put everything back together. My pain the following day was incredible, however Dr. Warnock and his staff were there at anytime I needed them and I never waited long for a response after hours. It has been 5 weeks since my surgery and I think due to the vast amount of his talent as a surgeon and my hard headedness, My range of motion is "remarkable" as he puts it and the pain is minimal. Dr. Warnock is the definition of excellence and you will not find a better or kinder man. It is easy to consider him a part of my family. He is an Outstanding Doctor.

My meniscus was torn on July 30, due to my insurance my regular Dr. had to follow HMO protocol and send me 1st to xrays and then a week later to mri, before I was allowed (covered) to make an appointment with specialist Dr Warnock. By then it was August 17th & because my regular Dr had told me not to straighten my leg as he thought it might cause more damage I had kept my knee bent for 20 days and could no longer straighten it (or walk like a normal person, by this point I was fairly depressed). After, my appointment that morning I felt so much better as I felt like I was finally seeing someone who could take care of my knee. The Dr didnt like the fact that I hadnt straightened it for 20 days and was concerned I may cause permanent damage, because of that he took the time to see if he could get his surgery schedule adjusted to fit me that week and 2 days later I was in surgery. His staff is awesome too, I got calls to see how I was doing and overall everything went great. A month later I was up and feeling almost like it never happened. This is my kind of Dr. If you are looking for someone to help you get better fast and push you to return to life before your injury this is your guy!! Thanks more than you know.

I went here for wrist pain due to PC work as well as hip pain. My experience was not good for many reasons. The shared office is in a hospital so you must park and walk quite a ways through a large parking lot and get to the 3rd floor. The waiting room was packed full of people and the front office receptionist was very brisk and impersonal. I waited about 15 minutes and then was rushed to the back for X-rays. I was told there was not enough time to bother with my hip problem so only wrist x-rays. The doc looked at the X-rays for all of 8 seconds and said nothing is wrong. He felt my wrists and my diagnosis was: "rubberband ligaments". The treatment:none. He said I will have to deal with the pain. To prove his theory he pulled my shoulder back and said it stretched more than normal because it broke the plane of my back. Newsflash doc:ever watch baseball or football or thrown a rock? He spent all of five minutes in the room and talked down to me like I did not know basic human anatomy and then rushed out while I still had questions. Bottomline: The doc is an egotistical goofball and the office as a whole is run like an assembly line. If you want valuable insights into your problem, go elsewhere.

From the moment I arrived to the end of the appointment the entire staff at Dr. Warnocks office was very upbeat and courteous. Everyone treated me with respect throughout the process. My only regrets is that I shouldve gone to Dr. Warnock for my first visit rather than as a second opinion. The first Orthopedic doctor only reviewed the MRI that my primary physician ordered, asked me a few questions, and then examined the shoulder/arm. A labrum tear was discovered. The outcome...surgery. For my second opinion, Dr. Warnock had X-rays completed (in the office), reviewed my MRI, examined my shoulder/arm and immediately diagnosed the issue to be a "frozen shoulder". Yes, there is evidence of a labrum tear and some arthritis. The outcome...stretching exercises and no surgery. At this time surgery would do more harm to the shoulder and recovery time would be slow and more painful. In the end, expectations were set high in that recovery with the exercises may take several months to a year to completely heal; however, I was thrilled that I didnt need surgery! Since Im an exercise nut, adding a few more exercises to my routine isnt a bad thing. Thank you Dr. Warnock and Staff!!!

After seeking a 2nd opinion were SUPER excited to have chosen Dr Warnock. From the time we walked in, till the time we left the customer services were amazing. From his assistant, to the X-ray techs all the way to Dr Warnock his self. My first opinion doctor took X-rays and a MRI and was so adamant on me having a surgical procedure and kept leaning toward my issues stemming from my weight. Its pretty obvious that I am a big guy, so thats the reasoning for my knee pain. After Dr Warnock looked over my MRI and my new X-rays he brought to my attention that in fact I do have a compete ACL tear and that the surgical would only have a 10% chance of being successful. He gave me other options and as Im typing this from yesterdays cortisone shot I already feel 85% pain free. I HIGHLY recommend him to anyone whos having any knee issues. Thanks Dr Warnock & Staff for th plesent experience.

Dr. Warnock performed two procedures on me about 5 years apart, first cleaning out some knee cartilage and most recently repairing an ugly broken collarbone that required ligament grafts and some new techniques. Great results both times, although everyone should understand that recovery from orthopedic surgery involves discomfort and exercise for several months. The important thing is that Ive been able to get back to my normal routine each time. Dr W. and his staff really focus on you as a person and a patient. Ive always had his complete attention when meeting with him both before and after my procedures, and he and his staff have been careful to ensure that my questions were answered and my pain addressed. If my wife or kids need help, or if I tear anything else up, Ill be back.
