I highly recommend Dr. Widener for anyone needing the services of an orthopedist. Everyone on the staff of their Canton Office were pleasant, polite, and punctual. Dr.Widener listened closely and attentively to all of my questions, and provided answers that were easy to understand.

I had knee surgery over 30 years ago. I visit Resurgens to make sure my knee stays strong. So far the repair is rock solid. I hope to have many more years of a healthy knee before I need a replacement. I’m confident that will happen under the care of Dr. Widener and the Resurgens team.

Dr Widener has treated me for a shoulder injury, performed carpal tunnel surgery on my right wrist and is now treating my left ankle/foot. I've trusted him for several years with my care. Great bedside manner, always respectful, and one of the most knowledgeable and deeply caring physicians I've dealt with.
