My first experience with Resurgens and Dr. Widener was great ! He listened to my concerns and answered all my questions . I went in for knee pain and am concerned about too many cortizone injections . He explained 2 more options that I can try so will update on how and which one works . Highly recommend Dr. Widener .

I recently had a hip replacement performed by Dr. Doug Widener, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the entire experience. From the initial consultation to post-surgery care, Dr. Widener was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly easy to communicate with. He took the time to answer all my questions and made sure I felt comfortable and informed every step of the way.The surgery itself went exceptionally well minimal discomfort, no bruising, and a smooth recovery. Dr. Widener’s skill and precision were clearly evident. His clinical team was equally outstanding, efficient, compassionate, and highly professional throughout the entire process.I am extremely grateful for the care I received and would highly recommend Dr. Widener and his team to anyone in need of orthopedic surgery. Fantastic experience from start to finish.This is my second hip and I have traveled from North Wales, UK specifically for his expertise.
