Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

He is just a good doctor.
The office and location aren't the greatest, the staff at times isn't always efficient, but Dr. Willens himself is a fantastic Dr. He has always been able to help me. He is the only Dr. I've had since I moved to Texas from NJ, 22 years now. He stays current on new treatments and in general has always had a solution to my issues.

Horrible visit, the Office Manager was rude and needs to be educated on what a valid identification is, I have insurance through my employer and don't have to assign a pcp, I can use anyone I choose and will get my test papers back and will not be back. The other staff members were very nice, I would possibly return if she was no longer there. I do not do well with rude people and people who just are not educated at their own job. I have lots of friends and family in Healthcare from Oklahoma and Texas who were outraged about the treatment I received from this Office Manager.

my mom went there on 7/17/19 . her regular doctor was not available so we decided to go there myself and my mom seen him before long time ago. anyway she fell going up a step up she's 80 years old. right in front of the office door they have no space to walk up. very poor design. she was told they did not take her insurance I told them can't ya'll attend to her nose since she fell over here told them I would pay cash . the nurse went check and came back and said no. I loaded her in my vehicle and bought her to the emergency room at kingwood hospital they attended to her right away in a professional manner. can't same the same for dr.willens' office are his staff . I feel they was just more for the money, which I offered to pay cash . they refused her medical help .I would never! recommend anyone to go there . I would like to thank all the by standers for helping my mom.

I found Dr. Willens after asking my boss to recommend a doctor. That was 10 years ago, and I’ve been loyal patient through through thyroid cancer and other serious issues. Dr. Willens has done a lot to make treatment more convenient It’s an old-fashioned family style practice where you’re more than just a number!

Beware! He will do tests that are not even needed so he can charge your insurance and if you are on a Schedule II prescription he does a Urine and Blood Drug Test every single month which is not required by the DEA. I have finally reached my point of no return when he charged me $55 that had to paid in CASH to sign a medical release form on top of another office visit so he could try to sell me on hormone pellets that are expensive and not covered by insurance. That is just the beginning.

first to say, my care there was excellent however, my insurance was changed to Blue Cross Blue Shield. Even though he is listed as a primary care physician, he bills you as an urgent care which is twice the deductible as PCP. He should not be allowed to claim being a PCP then spring on you the extra cost. I feel this is being deceitful.

Dr Willens is very knowledgeable and experienced with an excellent bedside manner. Never felt rushed at all. The Practitioner Caroline is also great, taking the time to explain everything thoroughly and address all my concerns. I wish I could say the same about the office staff, but some of them have Absolutely NO people skills whatsoever. Today the wait to check out was about 15 minutes. The girl I dealt with was not rude, but definitely not friendly either. No apology for the long wait.
