I have been a patient of Dr. Warkentin's as is my family for several years. It had been roughly one year since I last saw him and i came in with shoulder pain. He insisted on a new exam since it had been so long. During the exam he listened to my heart and took my bp and notice that I had a weight gain since I last saw him. He also stated that it looked like I was tired and out of breath. On further examination he asked how long my ankles had been so swollen. I thought the questions were odd considering I was there for shoulder pain. He determined that I should see my medical doctor and possible a cardiologist as he suspected that I may have congestive heart failure. Before I left he took me to his personal office and explained to me for 20 minutes what CHF was. The next morning I saw my family doctor. He was impressed with Dr. Warkentin's knowledge as he was correct with his suspicion. I have since been put on medication by my new cardilogist and mty weight has dropped, swollen ankles back to normal and energy back. I still see Dr. Warkentin for spine problems but have a new found respect for him and his profession. Dr. Warkentin is a sharp educated doctor who will do what is right for you as his patient.
Pros: highly educated
