Thank you so very much for all the help, the MRI which found my herniated disc, and for taking care of my pain prior to surgery. You were a blessing and I would recommend you to anyone with pain issues. Thanks again.

A person would hope when going to a pain management doctor that they would be compassionate, empathetic, and supportive. This doctor is a nightmare, quick to judge, harsh, rude, condescending, and screams UNPROFESSIONAL. Do yourself a favor a find someone in Roseville or Sacramento.

I went to see Dr. Willis after a really bad experience with chiro and had exhausted all other options except surgery. I was not able to much of my daily routine without severe pain in my lower back.the first two visits I was given injections in my back that helped for about a month. upon further discussion with Dr he tried the facet area in my back and I have been without pain for 4 mos. He is an excellent Dr and very caring. Thanks Emily
