A True Orthopedic Picasso Who Delivered Me From 7 Years of Agony! My Hip Replacement Journey is NOTHING SHORT OF MIRACULOUS! Let me be crystal clear: Dr. Shay Warren is not just an orthopedic surgeon; he's a genius on the operating table and an absolute angel in human form. If you're even thinking about orthopedic surgery, especially hip replacement, STOP whatever you're doing and book a consultation with Dr. Warren. He is, without a shadow of a doubt, the absolute pinnacle of orthopedic care I have ever encountered, and trust me, after seven years of debilitating, all-consuming pain, I've encountered quite a few. For years, my life was a constant battle against unrelenting joint and muscle pain, radiating from my lower back all the way past my knees. It was a miserable existence where simple movements became monumental challenges. I'd been to countless doctors, explaining the misery, the stiffness, the sheer exhaustion of living in constant discomfort. And then came Dr. Warren. He was the FIRST doctor who actually listened, who truly saw the problem, and immediately suggested an X-ray of my hips. It turns out, my hips were bone on bone, riddled with bone spurs – a stark confirmation of the silent torment I'd been enduring. Dr. Warren didn't just diagnose; he inspired confidence. He recommended the anterior hip replacement method, a decision that has proven to be nothing short of life-altering. And here's where the "sizzle" really kicks in: he performed BOTH hip replacements, a mere two weeks apart! Let that sink in. TWO WEEKS! And now, a mere six weeks post-op, I'm practically dancing (okay, maybe not pirouetting, but walking normally is a FREAKING MIRACLE!). The constant, gnawing pain that had been my unwelcome companion for SEVEN YEARS is GONE. Vanished. It's like I've been given a brand-new lease on life. The relief is so profound, so overwhelming, I almost want to cry with gratitude. But it's not just his surgical prowess that sets him apart. Dr. Warren's bedside manner is legendary. He possesses a super chill, incredibly reassuring demeanor that instantly melts away any anxiety. He genuinely listens, explains everything with impeccable clarity, and makes you feel like you're his only patient. It's rare to find a surgeon with such stellar skills AND such off-the-charts human connection. Knowing he completed his residency at the world-renowned Stanford University Hospital only amplifies the respect and admiration I have for him. He’s a true master of his craft. The love and gratitude I feel for Dr. Warren are immense. He didn't just fix my hips; he REBUILT my life. He gave me back my mobility, my freedom, and my joy. The bottom line? Choose Dr. Warren, or prepare to roll the dice with someone far, far less extraordinary. This is not just a recommendation; it's a heartfelt testament to a truly exceptional physician. Many Thanks, Dr. Warren! You are an absolute lifesaver!

My experience with ROC has been above expectations. Dr. Warren explained the procedure, answered questions, and the surgery went well. The whole process from checking in to post- p visit has been awesome.

My experience with Dr. Warren was great. He's a wonderful surgeon and very caring. He personally responded whenever I had any questions or concerns. He also personally followed up later. I'm doing great 5 months out, no pain and no restrictions.
