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.

Kids love him. He is a very old school. I have to fight to get specialist for my kids.

Dr Willard is wonderful. He goes the extra mile for his patients and more than once has called to check on our kids at home. We love him! Same day sick visits are easy to schedule.

If you are in need of a physician for your children I highly recommend Dr. Willard. He is the most caring, compassionate, fun loving doctor I have ever met. He has always went above and beyond to make sure that my kids were well taken care of. He has cared for all 3 of my children for over 20 years and is still taking care of my youngest daughter. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my kids well being. Thanks for all you do Dr, Willard!!!

Perfect mixture of careful and low maintenance. Respects parents' wishes. Not in a rush. Insightful. Wise and knowledgeable of current protocols. Kind, engaging, low-key. A perfect pediatrician.

A very caring doctor. Accommodating and just a good friend as well as doctor to my children. I initially looked for someone to be good to my kids and never realized how important it is that the doctor be a friend to me. Especially after a diagnosis I never expected to deal with for one of my children. He is the best.
