Dr. Womack and team are absolutely wonderful! It’s so nice to have a doctor that recognizes not all patients fit the norm when it comes to healing, pain and medications. I love that he truly listens and is more than willing to make adjustments based on my personal experience, rather than a strict adherence to a one-size-fits-all treatment plan. I’m very impressed and incredibly grateful!

Dr. Womack is phenomenal. I’ve seen him for 18 years, and his judgement and counsel have been consistently sound, and his treatment through surgery and other methods have been consistently successful. I highly recommend him.

To whom it may concern, I Love, Dr. Womack! I have Been going to him for a long time with many different problems. He is what I call a REAL Doctor !!!! Dr Womack practice’s —“what is the best avenue for the patient’s problems” —- NOT his pocket book. HE IS VERY CAREFUL WITH NOTES AND RECORDS ALSO. Years ago I broke my left ankle very badly. When I got into PT after 4 months, the PT lady said, “the type of brake you have they usually put plates and screws in.” Dr Womack put me in 4 different cast over 4 months instead. It was instant love for this Doctor. He could have performed surgery and made more money and I would have been non the wiser. I have never had a problem with my ankle since. In all the medical field situations I have been in through the year’s with my health—Dr. Womack is the only physician— I TRUST & RESPECT! Sincerely, S. Dore

Dr. Womack, and the anesthesiologist used, were amazing. Although I was given a large plastic device, the doctor chose to create his own at the surgery site. The design he chose was perfect, it is protected from everything, yet still offer some flexibility for exercising. The instructions given to me for icing and elevating seem to be perfect. The amazing part of this whole thing, is that I had absolutely no pain post surgery. I was ready to use pain pills, and only use two pills before ready to sleep. The surgery was very extensive, and in my opinion, very clever, as he borrowed a piece of tendon from the nearby Achilles to use as a supplemental support, all during the surgery. I am simply amazed at how well this went. The only questionable item I have is some communication issues with the supporting staff. All in all, I am 100% satisfied. I would highly recommend Dr. Womack.
