I went to Dr Widener with questions and concerns that had not been fully satisfied at another practice. I had my list of questions and requests all ready. However, Dr Widener answered them before I asked and clearly outlined the next step, which was very refreshing. The Canton office has their own MRI equipment and PT department. Thus the scheduling of an MRI and doctor follow up were all handled for me at the front desk. I was completely satisfied with the experience and look forward to continued care.

I was seen near my appointment time, the nurse and doctor listened attentively to my concerns, and the doctor was clear and reassuring in his explanations. The x ray technician was good also.

I agree with the others! Doc W is a very kind, energetic, and professional person. He identifies the issues and lays out some options in progressive order. Now I know why I was never good at golf! Golfer’s elbow! 😂. The staff was excellent and helped you save money when insurance didn’t cover something.

I've used Dr. Widener now for my shoulder repair and so far so good! Amazing doctor who has listened to my concerns, explained things thoroughly, and had great bedside manner. Almost no pain at all from the shoulder repair, and PT starts soon. 10/10. Will (both fortunately and unfortunately) be using him for my other shoulder repair as soon as this one is fixed!

I went to see Dr Widener about my planter fasciitis. Everyone in the office was very gracious, kind and professional! The receptionist was very welcoming and patient and X-ray technicians were wonderful. Dr Widener was amazing, he answered all of questions, gave constructive solutions to help with my feet and was kind and patient! I would definitely go back to this office again.

Scheduled appointment took place on time. Staff took X-rays and following the examination Dr Widener diagnosed the problem and recommended treatment. He seemed knowledgeable and was very personable. I would recommend him.
