Dr. Willick did a great job.
Very kind and friendly. He paid attention to my complaints and gave me information about my upcoming emg test that I've had concerns about.
Stuart Willick is a seasoned professional, I felt very well taken care of.
He was great! I trust his opinion. I just wish his front check in staff was nicer. He is a great doctor otherwise.
Muy amable en su atencin, explicando muy bien el proceso a segu para la obtencin de un excelente resultado
Excellent physician
He is a skilled listener. I felt he heard me and directed the visit expertly
He was awesome, showed me my x-rays, my ct scan from July which helped him with some of his questions. We have a plan to improve my health what could be better
Dr was good and basically eluded to the point that the other " specialists " I have already seen should be able to handle what I was referred to him for. He was honest and forthright, but shouldn't someone else have know this prior to seeing three different orthopedic specialists?
Dr Willick is kind and courteous. However, I lack trust in his medical skill. Among other things, last year he insisted that my knee pain was arthritis, but this year he said X-rays showed very little arthritis.
He was awesome! Went over my X-rays thoroughly with me and got me all set for PT when I get home. He has wonderful bedside manner
I enjoyed meeting him and his great strength in explaining his wealth of information.
I would not hesitate to refer anyone to Dr. Willick and/or his orthopedic people.
I felt he wanted to help me.
Looked over the removal of stitches and made sure they were properly removed
Dr Willick is exceptional-very caring, personable and knowledgeable. If I lived in the area, I would definitely ask if he would be my physician.
Great Doctor, he has the experience to treat hurt skiers
Excellent
Dr Stuart Willick was great and I'd recommend him to anyone. He really made me feel listened to and took my problems seriously when he discussed them with me and explained them with me, and in discussion with his assistant. He made me feel very respected.
So much better after this treatment,
I injured my knee skiing. Dr Willick and his assistant Chris provided outstanding care. Dr Willick gave me an accurate and comprehensive diagnosis with expert care and questions. He listened to and answered all of my questions and preferences thoroughly and compassionately. He went out of his way to get my Knee injury diagnosed as quickly as possible and contacted me with the results in a thorough explanation of my injury and options for recovery. I would recommend him to anyone with a knee or sports injury.
Excellent. Would recommend
excellent.
Dr. Willick was incredible and really listened not only to my description of my injury, but all other information I gave him. He showed genuine interest in who I was as a person, and was able to recall all of the information I shared with him when describing my condition to the trainer. I was very impressed by his care and would highly recommend him to others.
only thing I would say, seemed like I had to pull most of the information out of them. they could have volunteered more
I have recommended Dr Willick to many of my friends and have faith in him.

Dr. Willick and his team did a great job in evaluating the arthritis in both thumb joints...and gave me hope that with PT help, and a lot of work on my part, I'll get back to less painful and more productive function in daily life.
Dr. Willick is a kind and gentle person who diagnosed my issue and thoroughly went over my x-rays with me, explaining what he saw. He personally walked me to physical therapy and referred me for further care. He was easy to talk with and answered my questions.

Great Doctor with great knowledge and courtesy.
To me is really important to have a calm provider who allays fears that can arise in an emergent situation providing an intelligent and competent demeanor. Dr. Willick is certainly that provider.
Dr. Willick has helped me ( and he still is) get through an injury affecting my life much more than I expected. His patience in explaining our progress and his care and support have helped me understand the expectations and be patient with myself.
Experienced doctor. Professional care
I was referred to Dr Willick and even though he isn't in my insurance network, I made an appointment to see him. I didn't know what was wrong with my elbow and he quickly diagnosed bursitis and gave me suggestions to help heal the inflammation. Even though I wasn't in for anything major, I felt he was very confident and knowledgeable. I would see him if I had to.
Great communication

Dr. Willick was extremely thorough and friendly.
Dr. Willick carefully explained my xrays, answered my questions and asked if there were any other questions I had.

Very friendly and knowledgeable
He was wonderful with a welcoming manner and knowledge
While I don't disagree with the doctor that my spine is a problem, it did not seem like he was willing to listen to me, and being told that my spine is causing me nerve issues, that does not negate the extreme loss of mobility I have in my hip joint. I did not feel like the good doctor saw me as a credible witness to my body.
Thorough examination, productive analysis, pleasant conversation.
Dr. Willick was amazing , I would recommend him to friends and family
Dr. Willick very informative and positive about my rehab and healing.
Dr. Willick gave me explanations of my condition. My husband arrived late, and I felt like Dr. Willick gave more detailed information to my husband than he gave me.
Willick is amazing.
dr. Willick is great. so helpful and interested.
I had been seeing Dr. Willick for foot pain for months (Issue A). Upon arrival I told him another provider had found a probable cause of Issue A, but I hadn't had my follow up with them yet. I said today I wanted to talk about the separate pain in my foot that was caused by the treatment Dr. Willick and the physical therapists had been giving me (Issue B). I had asked him to look Issue B the last time I visited and he did not. After Dr. Willick left the room the previous visit, one of his student doctors touched the site of Issue B, went, "hmm" and left. This time I insisted it be looked at. I described Issue B and what I thought caused it and he said "your guess is as good as mine." Seeing he was dismissing me again, I pressed and said the pain was starting to feel like I had done permanent damage to my foot and something bad must have happened and he replied, "well you don't have cancer or anything." He kept referring me back to a general provider to address what the other pro
Physician was caring, knowledgeable & provided detailed assessment & solutions.
See my earlier comments on Dr Willick's high level of care, clarity & expertise.
Such a good man! I marvel ant his expertise and his humanity and his sense of humor too!
The care, and time taken, to discuss my issue with Drs Hele and Willick was so meaningful. Their expertise was phenomenal as they took the time to examine me and knew exactly what my problem was. When Dr. Willick told me that "I think we can help you recover from this" made my day! I knew that I had come to the right place.
Dr. Willick was great. Very good at evaluating and communicating with the patient.
Thank you so much for your insight to my shoulder problem And a plan of care
Stuart Willick Performed an examination of my shoulders and submitted an exhaustive set of notes. His notes show that he listened intently to everything I said.

Excellent doc who carefully considers your situation and works to rehabilitate.
Dr Willick is a true professional and really cares for his patients. Stuart is very personable and attentive to your medical needs. He is one of the great ones!
Dr Willick is an excellent physician and I am fortunate to be his patient.
Dr. Willick obviously wanted to help me reach optimum performance in my arthritic shoulder. He listened to my opinions, explained the MRI results thoroughly and made sure the procedure was as comfortable as possible.
They asked me if I had questions about what I could do and answered all of them very well. My doctor even showed me my X-ray and my MRI and explained everything that was happening and he seemed to care very much that I understood what was wrong and that he wanted to help me get back as fast as possible.
Simply outstanding. Accessible. Caring.
Dr Willick thoroughly explained my diagnosis and answered all my questions.
Dr Willick has been a life saver for me. I have a complex issue going on and he has managed my care so professionally. From calling me at home to check in to make sure medications are working to coordinating care with multiple other specialists. His notes tell my story so I understand his thoughts and other medical staff can follow the sequence of my care. This kind of care is extraordinary!
EXCELLENT experience! Everyone was beyond helpful, kind and friendly.
Dr. Willick was wonderful- his concern and explanation was excellent.
Excellent doctor and he was very engaging with my son
I've never had such a thorough dr appt. Just what I needed! Xrays, amazing Dr!!! Even a bit of PT. If I could imagine a perfect Dr appt it would be this one.
Kim Ross is a peach and has given me confidence that I can use the recommended exercises and implements to regain a more functional right hand. For this, I am deeply grateful.
Best
I like the different approach Dr Willick is taking recommending physical therapy first before jumping to the injections I was receiving previously. Dr Willick was friendly and knowledgeable.
Dr. WIllick and his staff, Chris and Ashley (I believe it was Ashley) made me feel very comfortable and were genuinely concerned about my progress. I have been given a diagnosis and the tools to ease my pain and prevent future flare-ups. I feel better and am grateful to move forward positively.
Didn't seem to interested on where my pain was located and just focused on the exray of my knee. And not the pain in knee that can possibly be my meniscus and an MRI can only determine if there is issues with my meniscus
Superb and smooth professionalism with excellent listening and efficient processes.
Good Dr, appreciate his knowledge and treatment
Seemed more rushed than prior visits.
Questions and communications were given with care, kindness and thoughtfulness.

Dr. Willick is the best!!Dr. Truex and Chris Michaels were terrific.
Dr Willick addressed our concerns both in the visit and after he consulted with other specialists about the plan of care.

Again, everything was perfect,
Gave me very good council and helped me a great deal
Both doctors were very kind, knowledgeable and personable.with good listening skills and a good plan for treatment.
Doctor was rude about my weight barely discussed why I came in. My job to see if insurance covers synvisc and to see if my pain specialist will do the procedure. This doctor was uncomfortable with my weight, and disabilities. This is one of the worst appointments I have ever had. He couldn't get me out of there fast enough.
Great
I appreciate that we got to the bottom of it but was very disappointed it took so long to get there
Great doctor, kind, caring, explained answers to all questions concerning my needs and care
Dr. Willick was very personable and also very helpful at getting me in for the treatment that I needed on the same day as my appointment.
I was familiar with Dr. Willick as I saw him when I was struggling with my shoulder injury.

His patient-centric attitude builds even more confidence in the diagnosis and steps for recovery.
Dr. Willick took the time to review all my old X rays. I was seeing him for my left shoulder but when i brought up the occasional pain on the base of my left thumb, he was ready with an old x ray for the same thumb and he explained to me all the needed details. He referred me to the appropriate therapy. A very thorough Doctor.

I felt SO important in Dr. Willick's office. Not only was there virtually no wait time at any point, but once I was in the office with the resident doctor and then Dr. Willick, I felt like my concern was their only concern at that moment.

Wearing any kind of brace can be awkward; i.e., slippage, too tight, too loose.

Also, having physical therapy exercises to do absolutely adds to my own strength. Thank you. Good experinces.

Dr. Willick is fantastic!
Physician was teaching during this case and integrated instruction into patient care very well.
The boot they want me to wear is difficult to manage as I can't drive with it. I am windowed and must drive myself. it is too difficult to put on in the car when I reach my destination so is not a practical solution.
Dr. Willick was excellent.
The doctor listened to my concerns and provided a clear explanation and several options for care.
This visit was hurried and superficial. There were findings on the MRI report that weren't discussed. I only know because I requested a copy afterwards and read it. I feel I need another appointment to discuss them. The original appointment was detailed but this (follow-up) one was hurried and superficial.
Doctor was deplorable.
Dr. Willick is excellent - friendly, knowledgeable, and to the point. He really knows his stuff! He's also very punctual - all of my appointments have started on-time and been thorough yet quick which is perfect!
Highly recommended
Dr Willick is thoughtful and genuinely tries to improve your outcome
