Dr. Alexander Willis, MD

Dr Willis was my surgeon for a partial knee replacement in February 2025. I was incredibly impressed with the entire process, from the admin staff, the nurses, and most of all Dr Willis. He did a fabulous job evaluating my knee and explaining the options. Most importantly he is a highly skilled surgeon. I am very pleased with my new knee. Highly recommended!

I just had my final ( 6 mo) follow up for my ant approach Total Hip Replacement; another successful outcome! I had such an amazing experience in 2023 with Dr Willis performing my Rt Total Hip that I didn't hesitate to schedule my Lt for the Fall of 2024. I had been impressed by what I read online; his education, training, philosophy re: patient care as well as patient rating and reviews were factors that lead me to seek him out as a second opinion after having had a less then favorable first encounter with an Orthopedist is a different practice. Dr Willis is easy to talk to; he listens, and explains things well; never appears rushed. He was clear in his rationale re: which hip to do first, and spacing of surgeries. He is supportive of Physical Therapy post op. He has a warm, calm manner to his interactions which is comforting and imbues confidence. Thanks to Dr. Willis and his team, I am back to a very high level of function and recreation without limits! Grateful!!

I most impressed with how Dr. Willis listened to my concerns and was very open to discuss options. He took into account my lifestyle and level of activity to perform the best procedure. Great planning in advance and super followup with the PA and Dr. Willis

Excellent, I would recommend Dr. Willis to all my family and friends.

Dr Willis is kind, compassionate and caring about how I feel. He always listens to me and answers my questions with honesty. He has a serious and professional nature. My knees are bad and hurt all the time. At times I can barely walk even with my canes. I cant have surgery because of my heavy weight, so I get injections in them every 3 months for pain. It has helped me immensely. Thank You Dr. Willis

Dr Willis is very compassionate and takes time to listen and answer any concerns I have about treatment or surgery. So thankful to be under his care.

Dr Willis was able to talk with me about my knee pre-surgery and discussed all my options. He was understanding and was able to set my expectations realistically. He corrected my meniscus tear and now i am able to run and get back to normal physical activities without a hitch.

About 3 years ago I had a visit with Dr. Willis about a sore knee. He said the partial ligament tear will heal over time however he did not recommend any surgery to repair the partial meniscus tear. He said, 'I'll see you in about 3 years for a partial knee replacement. There is a bone-on-bone condition that we'll have to fix.'Fast forward 3 years, June 2024. I was having more pain in my knee, yet still golfing and playing pickleball. It was time. Dr. Willis performed a partial knee replacement on June 12th. With his post-op direction and Brittany's advice, I was golfing on July 5th and playing pickleball on the 9th. It's as if I never had surgery at all (other than my knee works perfectly with no pain!)

Caring team and thorough and thoughtful, treatments. Dr. Willis is humble and is so kind.

From my first appointment to my 6 month follow up appointment I experienced caring and professional help from Dr. Willis. The staff at Skagit Orthopedics was wonderful also. I am very happy with my new hip and can highly recommend Dr. Willis.

I couldn't be more pleased with the total hip replacement surgery performed by Dr Willis. From my initial visit through my 6 month post surgery, I felt fortunate to have such a great Dr and team at Skagit Valley Hospital. Dr. Willis is very caring and extremely competent. I was back hiking, biking and kayaking in a very short time - all without pain. This surgery helped get my life back!

After losing the ability to move because of a hip joint that had disintegrated due to osteoarthritis. I became a patient of Dr.Willis . He is kind and stuck with me during uncomfortable appointments and then the surgery for a new hip. This surgery has been life changing and I feel joyful every morning to wake up and know I can go on any adventure I want . I will be having my other hip done soon and Dr. Willis will be doing the surgery as well and I wouldn’t have it any other way .

Dr. Willis provided " top-notched " care when I had a hip replacement . He is very knowledgeable , courteous and forthright . My experience with Dr. Willis and staff was very positive .

Dr. Willis is the best! He is a skilled surgeon who is adept at connecting with his patients. He answered all my questions and concerns about total hip replacement, both before and after the surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Willis.

Dr. Willis preformed a right hip replacement, and I am totally happy with outcome. He was very professional with his pre-op explanations about the procedure and my prepping for it. His after-operation visits were thorough and informative about my progress and outcome, which was positive. The hospital and surgery crews were excellent with their care before, during and at discharge with plenty of instructions, help and care along the way. His office crew was equally helpful and courteous at all my before and after visits. My hip hasn't felt this good in a couple of years and I am able to walk, bend and ride my bike with no pain. Dr Willis and his crews get a big THANK YOU from me!!!

Dr. Willis repaired my left knee, and it went flawlessly.

Excellent surgery to revise a total knee replacement done 8 years prior by another surgeon. Thorough discussion before and after surgery and plenty of time for my questions and concerns.

I had an excellent experience with my total hip replacement. Dr Willis handle my case with the knowledge and professionalism you would expect. The procedure went totally as expected without any issues.

I would recommend Dr. Willis to anyone and everyone in need of expert surgical and medical care requiring a specialist in repairing knee joints. .He is the finest Orthopedic Surgeon I have ever had the good fortune to agree to help me. I am an active 91 year old, and have experienced the ministrations of a number of so-called orthopedic surgeons, back, knee, and arms over the years. He was able to reduce to close to zero, the amount of pain I have experienced over the past five years, and thus be able to remain active and retain a reasonable balance between the swimming and walking. Let me be clear..Dr. Willis, is a truly great surgeon….and I have been recommending him without reservation.

Dr. Willis is the best orthopedic surgeon! He is super knowledgeable and truly listened to my concerns. I ultimately had surgery and everything went very smoothly. My pain is gone and I am already back to skiing. Awesome experience, would definitely recommend!
