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.

Highly recommend
I have been a patient of Dr. Williard’s for about 3 years and have had four surgeries. From the original diagnosis, MRI’s, surgery and recovery, I had the best care. He is compassionate, thorough and a very skilled surgeon. His support team is amazing as well. I would highly recommend him. Pam Firich

Dr Willard is the best orthopedic doctor I have seen since Dr Torch years ago. He genuinely cares about patients and does his best at relieving pain and suffering. When surgery is necessary he is honest and doesn’t put you off like some do because of age. I trust him completely

Excellent!
Dr. Williard was extremely professional, listened intently to my issues and expressed genuine care about my well being. Would highly recommend Dr. Willard to family and friends. Orthopedic One office staff and surgery center staff were efficient, friendly and made the entire process easier for me.

Dr. Willard was gentle and took his time to explain what procedure was needed. I walked the day of surgery, better than I had in 8 months.

Second to NONE!
Dr Williard is an amazing doctor and surgeon. I have been seeing Dr Williard since 2014 after I tore both my rotator cuffs after falling on ice. Originally working out of the Hilliard location, Dr Williard set up surgery for my right shoulder at the old Mt Carmel on the west side. He did an outstanding job and showed a level of care I haven’t seen in a long time. When Dr Williard decided to move strictly to the East side location off of Taylor Station, it was a no brainer to stay with him, even though I live almost in Madison county. I would give Dr Williard 10+ golden stars for excellence and character. And I highly recommend him to anyone that needs to be seen with shoulder issues.

Dr. Willard it’s the best. Both knees and one shoulder and I can still play close to scratch some days at the age of 71. I have zero mobility or flexibility issues and my recovery time compared to others I know at my age was remarkable. I was treading water in a swimming pool 11 days after having my shoulder replacement surgery. He is a great listener as well.Five stars….
