Dr. William Hickok Warden III, MD

He is a wonderful doctor.

Dr. Warden did my knee replacement surgery and my recovery was a piece of cake!! I was literally walking around the hallways with a walker a couple hours after surgery and only had to stay in the hospital two nights. I am four months after surgery now and I feel like a million bucks with no knee pain and can do all normal activities and exercises. Not sure how he did it, but I can barely see the scar!! I highly recommend Dr. Warden. My new knee feels extremely normal and of course much better than before surgery. Also, Dr. Warden's Physician's Assistant and staff were the best!

First visit for torn minecus in my knee I got a digital xray, saw the doctor and had an MRI. Dr Warden did the surgery a few week later. Recovery I had no pain with cold pack on my knee. Couldn't ask for better. My daughter had similar surgury with different doctor in Los Alamitos. Her residual pain lasted for over a year. Dr. Warden is the Best. It is now three years later and my knee is still like new,

i went in for my third visit and to find out if I needed knee surgery. After waiting 40 minutes, and hearing the lady next to me complain she had been there an hour and 5 minutes, I polotely asked the receptionist if she could call Dr. Wardens nurses station and find out how much longer it would be. I also let her know i heard the lady previously complain about her wait and that i did not want to wait that long. She stormed of saying "like I have nothing else better to do than to check on the Dr's and I'm not responsible for that...". She came back briefly and said I would be the next called...duh, I was the only [atient left in the waiting room. I waited another 10 minutes and walked out...50 minutes after my appointment. Personally, I plan on having my MRI sent to another Dr. and I will have them analyze the results to determine if I need surgery. I will never go back and deal with that rude receotionist or put up with the endless wait time.

Professional rapport quickly established. Listens carefully to patient's concern. Gives clear instructions. Has a sense of humor.

He was cold , flippant , never met my eyes - a jerk.
