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.

Certifications Matter
Dr Werner told me my impinged ligament that caused femoral nerve disorder was vaccuum phenomenom and due to me, the patient assuming the high levels of metal were from a MOM Hip, SO DID THE REVISION EXPERT...He found it was corrosion of the taper on a ML taper yet did a bearing exchange. He also said he was 'Board Certified' in 2018, now he says 2020, yet the azdo and abos and abps and certification matters says otherwise. I now have lordosis do to his lack of planning the surgery and the core institute does not think highly of him..one can most assuredly assume its because he showed credentials that were false. I know because I looked him up and in 2018 there were 7 Dr. Werners. He was NOT one of them

Blood leakage
After surgery blood leakage back into my leg was detected staples were applied by Werner without any type of anesthesia after 6 weeks still cannot walk normally need to have another doctor remove the fluid. The fluid still remains on my knee down to my toes would recommend Dr Maddox instead of Werner even though they work together sometimes things can go wrong as they have for me very dissatisfied with this additional delay which may take weeks to resolve.

Use Dr. Maddox instead – Jul 26, 2023

Dr. Werner is an amazing orthopedic doctor! Right hip replacement done 2/1/22. Very caring and organized doctor. After 30 years of hip pain I can say I am pain free. Why did I wait so long? Perhaps it was because I wanted the best of the best. Dr Werner fills that order. I might add his staff and Sonoran Crossing hospital was the most caring and compassionate experience I have had with a hospital experience.

Dr. Werner is a caring surgeon who did my right hip surgery on July 11th, 2019. I could not believe that I never took one pain pill and the day after I came home from the hospital made my husband 3 meals. I really could have never imagined that the recovery process would be so easy. His PA and staff are also amazing and very caring. Thank you Dr. Werner.

Had knee replacement done last December, Dr. Werner did an excellent job. This was my 3rd surgery (he did not do the first 2), so I have experiences with other Dr. 's. His surgery, bed side manner and care for his patients are all 5 out of 5. Highly recommended.

Loading hay I flipped 6+ ft. to the ground, breaking my left hip. 3 lg. screws were inserted in my hip. After 9 mos. I could only walk a short distance w/ a cane. I felt the screws were coming out. I got a 2nd opinion from Dr. Werner. He said I needed a Total Hip Replacement. On 4/13/2015, Dr. completed my surgery. After a short time on a walker/cane, I could walk normally w/out pain. Due to Dr. Werner I have my life back & am riding my horse. I'm grateful for his expertise as a Surgeon.

I have recommended Dr. Werner Jr to 4 other people and they were very pleased with him. I have had two knee operations performed by him and could not be more pleased with the outcome both times. If and when I have hip problems, I will be sure to have him do the operations if needed. My knee replacements were 3 and 4 years ago and he did a great job . I am very pleased to call him my doctor.
