From they’re very first time I met Dr. Stephen Warner approximately three years ago he, has shown nothing but concerned, respect, and a full scale of what to expect up to both of my cervical and lumbar fusion surgeries and full detail. He did exactly as he intended. The surgeries were a huge success. I would recommend him very highly to anybody in the need of a neurosurgeon! If I ever have problems in the future, he will be my go to doctor of choice for anything to do evolving around neurosurgery issues. I am very grateful and thankful for the help that he has provided for me.

Dr Wanner is a miracle man, if you want my opinion. He's done 2 major surgeries for me and has helped my throbbing nerve pains SO,SO much. He's given me the answers that I needed to know for the direction I need to go on my life, moving forward. What here does REALLY MATTERS! He's the best and I would trust him with anything

Loved his care for my laminectomy, took time to explain and answer questions. Had a guy shadowing him. I don’t think Dr Wanner heard me or truely understood I was there for pain I was in at the moment. Other guy was one who asked questions about pain without Dr wanner in the room.

Steve was nice and polite but I don't think he even looked at my chart before he saw me he did not explain why he was giving me a prescription or what the prescription was for also he did not get into what would happened if this second try didn't work because the first try didn't work I am still in an awful lot of pain and nothing was said about when we can get this pain taken care of except I was told to call my primary doctor doctor Fenton who has not been a part of any of this so now I have to call him explain everything to him and asking for pain medication which may take four or five days cuz right now is the weekend to do a procedure on someone and 10 days later they're still in pain cuz it didn't work and then leave them in pain to try to get pain medicine from someone else is just plain wrong
