William B. Workman's Online Review Report Card

I recently had the pleasure of being treated by Dr. Workman, who performed an ACL reconstruction on my knee. From start to finish, my experience with Dr. Workman and his team was nothing short of exceptional. One of the things that stood out to me about Dr. Workman was his approachable and friendly demeanor. He took the time to listen to my concerns and answer all of my questions in a way that was easy to understand. He made me feel comfortable and confident in his abilities. Dr. Workman’s surgical skills were clearly top-notch. The procedure went smoothly, and I experienced very little discomfort during my recovery. I was back on my feet in no time and back to skiing and pickle ball and running etc. and I attribute that in large part to Dr. Workman’s expertise and attention to detail. In addition to his surgical skills, Dr. Workman was an excellent communicator. He explained the procedure to me in detail beforehand, and he provided clear instructions for my recovery. He also took the time to follow up with me after the surgery to make sure that everything was going smoothly. Finally, I have to give a shout-out to Dr. Workman’s office staff. They were professional, courteous, and always willing to help. They made the entire process as smooth and stress-free as possible. Overall, I would highly recommend Dr. Workman to anyone in need of an orthopedic surgeon. He is approachable, highly skilled, and a great communicator, and his office staff is top-notch. If you want the best possible outcome for your orthopedic needs, look no further than Dr. Workman.

The entire team helped make a bad couple of weeks turn positive with one visit! Thanks so much for squeezing me in. I really do appreciate you helping move things forward in a positive direction.

This doctor is BAD. Or maybe he has lost it with age. DO NOT go to see him. Dr Workman is not attentive, he keeps looking into his laptop while you speak, and asks you to repeat what you were saying. He is very under communicative and doesn't explain you the diagnosis and treatment options. He will not answer your questions, and will rush out of the room while you are still speaking. His staff will make you sit inside the examination room, and Dr Workman will arrive 30 minutes later, and will spend less than 10 minutes with you. I repeatedly got the feeling that he doesn't care about your problem. He is visibly arrogant and speaks as if he is doing you a favor. I wasted 4 months seeing this pos. He has a lot of self-promotional pictures on walls and that gave me an impression that he might be good. But that is so misleading. If you read this review, and still decide to go, God bless you.

I wanted to give a quick shout out with MAJOR kudos and a SUPERIOR recommendation for Dr. Will Workman. I'd like the option to give 100 stars...not just 5. Our daughter is very prone to injuries and not only has Dr. Workman helped her in her recovery multiple times, but he has made it a very enjoyable experience. He is an excellent doctor and incredibly skilled at orthopedics. My husband is an athlete and also grew up in the area and because of that, we are frequently asked for a doctor referral when someone has an injury. It's a no brainer to recommend Dr. Workman every single time. I find it very disheartening to read some of the negative reviews posted here on Yelp. Makes me wonder if those patients took the time to follow instructions, come back for check-ups and did the required PT. Wish people would think twice before posting a negative review. If you have an injury that requires an orthopedic doctor, look no further than Dr. Will Workman!

The best surgeon I have ever had and I have had few. I have never had a surgery where I only needed Advil for pain afterwards. Dr. Workman is great to work with and his office staff is the best in the business. My experience was like nothing I have had in the past and will only use him in the future. Be patient with your timeline as he is highly sought after and is very busy. That's a good sign because I'm not sure if I want a surgeon who is available to do my surgery tomorrow.

I didn't mind his being 45 minutes late. I assumed he was busy helping other patients, answering their questions and being thorough. When he finally did show up, he was ill tempered and indifferent. I t felt like all he wanted was to get out as quickly as possible. I had many questions and concerns about having knee replacement surgery. Many of his responses, were short and curt. I know he has an excellent reputation as a surgeon, but even if he's the best in the business, he's not touching my knee.

All four of my family members have seen Dr. Workman for different issues. This past November, I had to see him for severe Trigger Finger on both hands. I thought I might have to have an operation. His recommendation for cortisone shots eliminated the problem almost completely within a few weeks. Dr. Workman operated on the left and right knees of my 18-year-old son in 2018 and 2019 due to sports injuries. JUST this past weekend in Tahoe, he skied double black diamond runs, rode the rails, and did 360 turns. His knees are better than ever! Dr. Workman is professional, caring, and the ONLY doctor our family trusts when we are in need. Also, he has THE best office staff!!! If you want the best care possible by both a doctor and the office staff, see Dr. Workman!

I had a hip replaced by Dr. Workman in January. I’m 68 and had the operation in a surgery center as an outpatient. The results have been excellent. Five months later I’m most of the way to a return to full single leg functionality at the level I had a couple years before my hip really deteriorated. Overall I thought Dr. Workman’s competence level, both as a surgeon and in handling me as a patient, was extremely high. His manner is direct. He answers questions very precisely, and seems patient in dealing with any issues you have. He is very efficient and is not there to educate you or bring you his level of knowledge, so come prepared knowing what you want from him and from your visits. I got a laugh in my first post-surgical visit at 2 weeks. He walked in and immediately looked at the new x-ray film before talking with me. ‘Beautiful’, he said. Then he started the conversation with me. I’m sure that he had learned that a good look at what was going on inside was far more important and informative than whatever the patient was saying at that very early stage of the recovery. The staff was fabulous. All of them were very organized, helpful, and friendly (Terry especially, and really everyone I interacted with). I’ve been in medicine in commercial companies for just under 50 years, which likely affects my approach and experience in some ways compared with a typical patient. Thinking about it, I couldn’t come up with something that could be improved. Be disciplined in the rehab and PT phase after Dr. Workman gives you the new hip, and you will get great results.
