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 Experience!!
Dr Willsey was awesome. I had shoulder surgery. I had a snowmobile trip planned and he got me ready for it within a very short time. My Therapists were great as well. Not sure how they got me ready so quick weeks ahead of time, but I am very pleased 10 out of 10 experience. Highly recommended!!

Wonderful surgeon and results
Dr. Willsey was very available for all my questions at the first consultation and post surgery. Dr. Willsey gave detailed explanations that were reassuring and informative to me as his patient. The doctor had my full confidence for the surgery and the results of the procedure were terrific. The physical therapists on his team assisted with teaching the exercises required for a healthy recovery and were well advised on all details of my case. There was good coordination between surgeon and physical therapists to maximize healing. They were patient, knowledgeable and kind.

Complete Confidence
I had thumb joint surgery with Dr. Willsey. The surgery was a complete success! I have full use of my left thumb again, this was also because of his nurse Erika, and his occupational therapist Amanda who is so amazing! She customized a treatment plan for me! I looked forward to seeing her every appointment, and knew she would help me get one step closer to recovery. I will need my right thumb done in the next year and have complete confidence in Dr. Willsey and his team. Thank you to all of them for helping me to get my life back!

Excellent Care
Dr Willsey did an amazing job repairing my broken wrist. I am 14 weeks out and am able to do most of the activities I really enjoy. Sandy was my physical therapist. She was so encouraging and helpful. I looked forward to rehab and getting my mobility and strength back. Working with Sandy was so easy and fun. Thank you so much!

Wrist surgery
After having broke my left wrist, Dr. Willsey did surgery on it. Placed 2metal rods & 13 screws to repair the broken bones. After 41/2 months my wrist is healed and I have 90 % use of it. Just having some pain only when try to close my fingers. He said to keep on with my finger exercises, to get them flexible. Would recommend him to any with hand problems. My two OT at physical therapy we’re also great. I saw Amanda & Sarah. Recommend those two also.

Although the 1st six weeks of rehab was challenging, after 12 weeks, I was able to sleep in a regular bed without discomfort. I am very happy with the results.

Great result!
I am a music teacher and professional musician. I play the piano. Dupuytren's contracture had affected my right hand - every finger, the thumb and the palm. After a time, I could no longer reach an octave and was having trouble playing basic pieces cleanly. In September, Dr. Willsey performed the surgery to free my hand of all the cords and plaque. It is now February and I am thrilled with the results! Once again I am able to reach a tenth (two keys beyond an octave) with ease! My hand is still healing but I am playing better, more freely than I have in years! In the next three months I am already booked for eight major performances. After being worried that I might not ever play at a high level again it feels great to be back! Thank you so much, Dr. Willsey!

Awesome
Dr Willsey and the occupational therapists at Aurora Sheboygan were amazing. I had surgery on a broken finger, which required pins in my ring finger for a period of time, surgery and recovery was smooth. Amanda was also amazing in the rehab process and got me much farther than I thought I would get in only 3 months. Great experience, highly recommend Dr Willsey and the therapists at Aurora Sheboygan!

Double rotator
Dr Wilsey repaired both rotator cuff’s approximately 5 years apart. I am so thankful he was my surgeon as I could not be happier with the results. He took his time to answer my questions and I felt he and his team were there anytime, should I have questions or concerns. If I could give more stars for my review, I would.
