I was referred to Dr. Willard by my primary physician after an extremely negative emergency room visit earlier that week. I was seen without an appointment almost immediately by who I believe was his RN. I was admitted in to surgery that night. Dr. Willard personally called the around noon the next day to ensure I was confident in my ability to properly take care of my wound and give me a better picture of what happened when I was under. Overall a very comfortable and personal experience. I am definitely satisfied.

Dr. William Willard is perhaps the best surgical doctor in Thurston County, and the city of Olympia WA. He received his training at Sloan Kettering and later worked at the Presidio in San Francisco. He was the head of surgery at Madigan Army Hospital for ten (10) years before retiring from the United States Army as a full Bird Colonel. I highly recommend Dr. Willard for any surgical procedure needed. He is highly trained, experienced, highly skilled and an excellent doctor.
