What is an Orthopedic Surgeon?
An orthopedic surgeon is the best-trained and most experienced doctor to properly evaluate and treat musculoskeletal (bone, joint, or muscle) problems in adults and children. The unique nature of medical and surgical care of adults and children is learned from advanced training and experience in practice. They are doctors who have:
- Graduated from an approved medical school (typically four years)
- Graduated from an approved orthopedic surgery residency program (typically five years))
- In the case of Dr. Warner, an additional one year Fellowship training in Foot and Ankle and four years in the Air Force as a combat surgeon)

A foot doctor is a Board Certified Orthopedic Surgeon that is fellowship trained in foot and ankle surgery or a doctor trained in podiatric medicine. Dr. Meredith Warner is known as a foot doctor because of her specialty training in the foot & ankle.
Who is the best Orthopedic Surgeon?
We tell our patients to first get a professional diagnosis and then search for the physician that has deeper training and experience treating the issues you currently have. For instance, if you are a diabetic and currently have ongoing issues with diabetic foot ulcers, then you should make an appointment with a Foot and Ankle, Fellowship Trained Orthopedic Surgeon because they have the training and treat multiple patients with this type of condition more often than a sport trained Orthopedic Surgeon.
