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.

No patient empathy. Appears not to care at all.
My last appointment with Dr. Willett did not go so well.....The eye chart was a total blur? My Glaucoma numbers increased. He blurts out he will do surgery and I will be anesthetized and rushed out. No questions allowed I guess. WTH?

This doctor's practice schedule too many patients - I waited over one hour to be called into an exam room. This doctor took shortcuts examining and had a nasty bedside manner - he has a god complex. I did not feel respected.

4 Complications from cataract/goniotomy procedure
Post op results: secondary cataract- had to have YAG. Now have a epi-retinal membrane, choroidal fold and poor visual outcome in right eye. Paid $3495. for Vivity lens had to get glasses. My right eye is not adjusting to the glasses. I do not recommend this doctor. He said I cannot see because I am obsessing over it. He was arrogant and uncaring about my surgical outcome.

There are not enough stars on this site to express how delighted I was with my recent cataract surgery. Dr. Willett is extraordinary. It is abundantly apparent that he loves what he does by his enthusiasm at first meeting and he truly is an excellent surgeon. He had a lot of help with his support staff. Everyone on the team was helpful, patient, friendly, cheerful, kind, professional. As soon as I called the office I was given an appointment for an initial consult. About a month later I had the surgery, which was a breeze. No complications. I used to see 20/400 and now I can see 20/20. There are multiple measurements and tests that are performed and everyone I made contact with was cheerful and greeted me with a smile and a kind greeting. Imagine that! The man is so good at what he does that the reception area is always packed, but it's worth the wait. I would recommend him to any and all people, friends and strangers alike. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU, Dr. Willett!
