Dr. Wagener was able to easily explain to me why I was having pain and what I could do to get relief. He made sure that I know what all of the treatment options are.

I have a sense of who will benefit from surgery and who will not. In truth, I offer surgery to less than 20 percent of those who seek a surgical opinion. Some people simply won’t get clinically significant benefit from surgery”. Dr. Wagener is uncompromising in his dedication to the well-being of his patients. He is committed to giving the best care and establishing long-lasting relationships with them.
