We went in for an appointment early but ended up waiting 1 hour with a crying 10 month year old baby with a severe diaper rash. The receptionist kept saying the doctor was with a patient but could clearly see he was just on the computer playing games. When he finally saw my daughter he looked at her for 2 seconds and prescribed a fungal cream used for althletes foot and jockies itch-WebMD says not for vaginal use. But me trusting the doctor followed the instructions and applied it once and her rash developed cracks instead making it worse. That’s when I read watched the cream and realized it’s not meant for her rash. He has no empathy and has no business treating children.

Dr. Widness is the best doctor I have had in many years, very attentive and seems genuinely concerned about you. Wish I had found him years ago. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a doctor. I will keep him for ever.

I picked this office because of it's location. But I found Dr Widness to be very caring and helpful. The staff is efficient and it's always easy to get in when I need to.

I would highly recommend Dr.Widness to anyone and everyone! He is by far one of the best doctors I have ever had and I plan on bringing all of my children to him in the future! My son loves him. He is gentle, patient, and caring, and he never makes us feel rushed which is the best part. Thank you for being the best doctor
