I went to Dr Widener with questions and concerns that had not been fully satisfied at another practice. I had my list of questions and requests all ready. However, Dr Widener answered them before I asked and clearly outlined the next step, which was very refreshing. The Canton office has their own MRI equipment and PT department. Thus the scheduling of an MRI and doctor follow up were all handled for me at the front desk. I was completely satisfied with the experience and look forward to continued care.

I was seen near my appointment time, the nurse and doctor listened attentively to my concerns, and the doctor was clear and reassuring in his explanations. The x ray technician was good also.

I agree with the others! Doc W is a very kind, energetic, and professional person. He identifies the issues and lays out some options in progressive order. Now I know why I was never good at golf! Golfer’s elbow! 😂. The staff was excellent and helped you save money when insurance didn’t cover something.
