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.

Awesome Doc!
I love Dr Willis. Have been going to her for years now. So caring and compassionate. I don't understand the bad reviews at all!

Not the best experience
I’ve been to her office 2 times since I was pregnant and I wasn’t a fan. She was very rushy and didn’t take the time in answering questions, but instead huffed and puffed when we asked a question. Almost as if she was annoyed, which made me feel uncomfortable. She did say some things that were intelligent, but she was definitely not the right doctor for me. She seemed too nonchalant, and annoyed. Not kind enough or patient. But I wish her the best. Maybe she’ll be the right doctor for you.

She's a very brittle person. She was my OBGYN from August 2018 - February 2019 and if I had the choice to do it over again, I most definitely would've chosen someone different. She was condescending and her staff was unprofessional. At my postpartum checkup when asked if I was going to get back on birth control, I responded with no. I plan on staying abstinent. (I'm single and I was in no way thinking about having sex since I'd just pushed a baby out) The nurse scoffed at me and said 'Good luck with that.' Throughout my pregnancy, I would be super anxious every time I had to come in simply because they were not very forgiving if you did something "wrong". Like go to the wrong bathroom or ask them to repeat something. Pregnancy brain is real! In short, not for me at all. Maybe she'll be the perfect match for you.

I have been a patient of Dr Willis for years, and she is beyond awesome. She doesn't just prescribe medicine to comfort symptoms, she actually takes the time to find the problem! I have sent so many people her way because of her loving an caring spirit. I was told I couldn't have babies, and Dr Willis did every thing in her power when I did happen to get pregnant to help me have a healthy baby.

I could not believe that Dr. Willis will not take a Medicare supplement. I could understand an advantage plan , but a supplement. You can take a supplement ANYWHERE, whatever Medicare doesn't pay the supplement pays 100% of what you bill. It pays a lot more than Multi Plan! Strange.

I got a call from Dr. Willis from a private number on a Saturday evening after 6pm to discuss test results that I took 2 moths ago. I never got an update on whether my medical records she requested was accurate about fibroid. I was told I had an incurable STD and just so happen my PCP wanted blood work and Dr. Willis completed a lab work so I requested my records from her & guess what everything she told me was not accurate.
