Dr. Willis shatters the myth of the distant, cold surgeon. He is very personable and kind. He listens to his patients. His surgery skills are Top Doc level! He has preformed 3 surgeries on me (1 cervical, 2 lumbar). I trust him implicitly.

Amazing doctor. Totally honest and spends time with you. I've seen four neurosurgeons and very willing and happy to use him as the only one I will have from now on. He is awesome.

I highly recommend Dr Willis! He is a rare doctor - not only knowledgeable and thorough in his evaluation, but kind and compassionate. He took the time to listen and understand my situation before explaining how he thought we should proceed. I appreciate that so much! I have two surgeries coming up with Dr Willis and I know I will be in excellent hands.
