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.

Very personable, professional. Seems to have fixed my shoulder, and will plan to have a total hip replacement per the doctor.
