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.

Do not trust him
I saw Willey for a previously diagnosed chronic pain generating disorder for a little over a year. I told him my history with pain, and had had several MRIs, reports and procedures supporting my issues. I asked him to fill out my disability paperwork. He then lectures me in his condescending way, on the subjectivity of pain which I sincerely doubt he would have done had I been a white woman. He tells me that I won't like what he writes but will give the paperwork to me rather than submitting it to the disability insurance company. He was right - I didn't like it because none of it was accurate or true. Three of my other specialists also 100% disagreed with what he wrote. Then HE SUBMITS IT and my long term disability is CANCELLED because they based it on only his report, totally disregarding the other two doctors. Now, I've had to hire an attorney to fight for it back. Do NOT trust this man.

Amazing Doctor
Dr WILLEY cured chronic pain that I’ve had for years with one visit. I understand the injection he administered may not be a permanent cure. Nevertheless, when he explained this to me. he demonstrated sincere compassion and concern for my presenting problem and advised me that he has more tools ?? in his toolbox and he felt assured that I did not need to live in pain. I am so grateful to Dr. WILLEY for his expertise and his patient-centered care. Thank you Dr. WILLEY for the significant impact you’ve had in my life with just one visit. I look forward to a long term affiliation.

I love Dr. Willey. After injections, I no longer have low back or SI pain. He takes the time to explain issues and treatment. He’s also ordered PT as needed.

When the office received my records from my surgeon, they called & said Dr Willey felt he couldn’t help me but why don’t I come in anyway. I came in & he said he could help me with an ablation. He said he could reduce my pain 70%! Well, now it’s 6 weeks later with no relief. Now he says I should get an epidural. Note that I’ve had 2 previous epidurals with no relief from my surgeon. I was going to do it next week. Called yesterday to ask a question about a prescription I was just prescribed that might affect the epidural. I was told I’d get a call back. I called back hours later. Was disconnected. Called back & put through to a message. Called back when I was finally told Dr Willey is no longer with them!!! Was anyone going to let me know??? I told them to cancel my future appointments & epidural!!! I deserved better.

Dr. Willey performed radio frequency ablation in 6 locations on my lower back over 3 years ago, and I still feel great. He and his staff are amazing and make me feel like family. I have herniated 2 disc when I was a teenager and then tried a chiropractor later in life. Once the chiropractor appointments stopped helping (after 2 years) I went to Dr. Willey for help. I will def be going back there soon so he can take a look at my neck issues that are getting worse with age.

worst office to deal with in the state. They do not care about their patients at all. have any problem with insurance and they will not see you, even if you will pay cash they would rather see their patients suffer. do yourself a favor and stay away from this Dr. Willey...

My wife and I visited Dr. Willey this week due to pain in her arm. Of all the Dr. we have visited over the past 4 months Dr. Willey is by far a person who knows how to handle pain problems. I can't believe what we have gone thru to find a Dr. to help reduce her pain as much as Dr. Willey has done. We need more Dr. like Dr. Willey Sincerely Jerry & JoAnn Freis jfreis@hatcherins.com
