Dr. Willenborg did my total hip replacement and I couldn’t have asked for a better surgeon! She explained everything before and after. I would highly recommend her!

She was super helpful and kind. Took the time to talk to me and make sure I was comfortable with what was going on. Would recommend her to a friend!

Her surgery for my full knee replacement in May 2014 was excellent. Follow-up visits with Dr. Willenborg were helpful and she was wonderful to me and my recovery.

Had knee replacement. Lacked supervision of OR doctors, residents and staff. Valgus went from 6 to 10 - should be 5. A very painful experience with long term other problems post surgery. Denied it was her responsibility when I came out of surgery with black eyes, extreme groin bruising, and no bladder control after catheterization. Do not use this doctor. Also waited up to three hours in clinic appointments.
