Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Outstanding !

I was sent to have a CTA scan within a week and my results were sent to his office to be reviewed .a week has gone by.Dr Willis has confered with cardiologist and my surgery is already scheduled . Dr.Willis is very amiable and extremely knowledgeable. My experience this far has been far above average .I am very impressed

I am a patient however I was just turned away on the phone. Because I had not seen him in a few years I was told I had to go to my regular doctor and get a referral for what I already know is wrong. ??????? REALLY Pay another doctor to send me to him? This is why people don't go to the doctors like they are suppose to. RED TAPE; I work and don't have time for 15 doctor visits. I need my veins looked at due to my age...... The Dr. Willis that treated me a few years back was not this type of Doctor at all; I have recommended him to many of my friends and co-workers. He told me to call and make an appointment if I had any more problems......well sir I am having problems. Oh well.......guess the girl answering the phone is making the appointments.

RED TAPE HATE – Aug 06, 2021
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Willis?
I first saw Dr Willis after a foot surgery performed by an orthopedic surgeon in Huntsville, Alabama. After surgery, that surgeon told me I was going to lose 1/2 of my foot, and acted like “no big deal.” I immediately told him he had cut all he was going to cut off of my foot, and I wanted a second opinion. Dr. Willis is who I chose for my second opinion. The thing that sold me on Dr. Willis was that he came into my room, closely examined my foot, and said, WE ARE IN THE FOOT SAVING BUSINESS!”

Dr. Willis performed an aortic angioplasty on me earlier this month...there was a possibility of putting stents in my legs because of blockages..when he got in there,he decided I didn't need the stents. He is a wonderful and caring surgeon..I highly recommend him for any vascular needs. He takes the time to listen and understand your questions and needs. He is a kind and sweet man. I thank God for leading me to him. ?

Was there almost 2 hours, spent maybe 3 minutes of that time with Dr. Was scheduling an ultrasound on my legs to do further checking of my veins and it's been about 2 weeks but still haven't heard anymore about the test or when to go have them done. Staff and everyone are very friendly.
