One star One star One star One star One star	11/21/2024	Dr. Willingham is hands down one of the most attentive and compassionate Doctor I've ever met. He listens to any concerns and is truly interested in the health of his patients. I can see why it's a long wait to get an appointment. Clearly, I'm not the only one that feels that way.
One star One star One star One star One star	10/31/2024	Very thorough. I brought in outside records and did a great job reviewing the records and addressing my 4 concerns. I drive 2hours to get there and he made it easy to do my blood labs same day following appointment. I had my next surgery scheduled prior to leaving office. Follow up via my chart for labs was prompt. Excellent doctor and also a great resident doctor (student).

I feel hopeful with Dr. Willingham and motivated as sometimes my illness causes challenges that leads to pain, isolation and melancholy. I appreciate all recommendations Dr Willingham offers as they make sense and are doable. He is kind and I appreciate that so deeply. Dr. Willingham is a gem.
