Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Everything in place for surgery for time given. Very pleased with skill of surgeon and all staff involved.

The doctor was personable and engaging. Once I got to the patient room I didn't feel rushed or moved along. Options were discussed, with a plan moving forward.

I love Dr Wanner and his staff. Dr Wanner cares about his patients. I have never felt rushed through my appointments. He always takes the time to listen to my questions and takes the time to answer them. I was scared to have surgery but he helped me throught it. My surgery was a success, I feel better, and I now see him for my follow care. Its nice to have a Doctor that makes you feel important and not just a number.

This was a routine followup. Not much to share...no nurse staff involvement, just the brief checkin before the surgeon met me to go over options. All good.

Dr. Wanner spent nearly 40 minutes with myself and my family discussing what he thought would work best for me, and we still have a surgical strategy session ahead. Dr. Wanner has an impressive bedside manner.

Serious waste of a lot of time
The day I visited, this clinic was in chaos. Appointments were running 90 minutes late, and Dr. Wanner was seriously agitated. He rushed me through, ignored most of what I said, gave me an inappropriate medication, and told me to come back on March 21. He then proceeded to enter the appointment for May 21. If I hadn't caught the mistake, I would have waited an additional two months without any treatment for my painful spinal stenosis. Part of the problem is that Dr. Wanner is listed as a provider of nerve blocks, which he does not do. 'I'm a surgeon,' he pronounced angrily, 'I don't do nerve blocks.' Um, okay, good for you! But he refused to give me a referral for someone who did. That's exactly what my experience was like.
