I believe that every patient is unique and thus their treatment should be unique. I strive to perform the smallest, least-invasive treatment option that will address my patient's problem. This includes an understanding of who they are, what their goals are, and what their support system is. In this way, we can accomplish our common goal - making them better!

Very good communication with everyone involved in my appointment.
GREAT WORK , AND TEAMWORK GOD BLESS.
First time seeing this provider. Very impressive, made great eye contact, very human
Thank you for the great care!
All is good.
Very impressed with the entire Team who I met with and particularly pleased with my conversation with Dr. Wanner. He was patient and very thorough with his explanation of the procedure he would use to address my lumbar issues. When I elect to procede with my necessary surgery I'll be contacting this office to set up a time to have Dr. Wanner handle my surgery. All in all an exceptional first visit with this medical Team
Dr.Wanner was super knowledgeable and explained everything slowly and has an awesome bedside manner. Don't let him leave. His partner had exactly the same attributes.
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.
My family and I were very impressed with the whole surgery process and recovery. Each member of the team came into my pre-op room to introduce themselves to me and my son and daughter. All made sure I knew what procedures I was having. Nurse Sam who took care of me after surgery was phenomenal! Dr. Wanner visited me at 4:00 and spent 20-30 minutes with me, answering all my questions. I did have an unexplained bloody scab on my head and blood streaks in my hair. My family and the nurse were puzzled with the blood streaks but the tiny bump and dried bloody scab was not found until I was home. What happened when I was under anesthesia?
Very helpfull and thorough.
Everyone was extremely pleasant, caring and efficient!
He is/was awesome, clear, and concise, making changes to accommodate my fears. I was very fortunate to have him. He even made an appointment for me on another matter not related to ortho. I will always consider the entire team there to be my friends.
Excellent physician. Highly recommend.
I like this clinic a lot. Having all of my care providers and pharmacy in the same building is so convenient. I've been very satisfied with the care I've received so far.
Dr. Wanner is easy to talk with and provides good information about your problem and associated options.
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.
Everybody that works for the hospital is so pleasant and considerate and compassionate I love this hospital
Very compassionate and understanding
Doctor listened and came up with a great plan of treatment
Dr. Wanner is a great physician. He's always helpful and energetic and always answers my questions. I feel a lot better knowing he'll be there for me when I need him.
This doctor spent a great deal of time with me to explain his perspective of what was causing the pain and how to eliminate that pain with surgery. Also made sure I understood this was not urgent and to take my time to be comfortable with my decision.
My wife and I really enjoyed our conversation with Dr Wanner. He's honest and direct but very pleasant. Very clear on goals I need to reach. Thank you Dr Wanner.
Very friendly helpful great to talk with
Dr. Was very helpful, kind and honest.
Very pleased with the entire process From scheduling to testing to treatment.
I appreciate everything my MD is doing for me!
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.
Wonderful experience. Thank you!
Great first appt with dr and staff
