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.

I have seen Dr. Willett several times over the past 5 years, primarily for issues with eustachian tube dysfunction. I avoided air travel all together until he provided me with a step by step plan to overcome the discomfort and ear pain that accompanied each flight. That plan, in conjunction with treatment from my neurologist to minimize/eliminate vertigo and balance issues, has enabled me to travel by air once again. Dr Willett has a gentle and caring manner, backed with keen intelligence. I recommend him highly.

Dr. Willet corrected my deviated septum 24 years ago, and I have been seeing him for other small outpatient procedures since. He does excellent work, and is the most caring and compassionate Dr I have dealt with.
