Dr. Widmer got me into surgery within a week of my initial appointment and successfully reattached my pectoralis major tendon. His follow up appointments have been very good as well. I am almost completely healed from a ski accident that, if left untreated, could have been a very negative life changing event.

He was pleasant, personable and explained the x-ray and what my options were. Then he explained things I should know about the surgery, recovery and physical therapy. He was extremely attentive and included my husband and daughter in the process too.

I have nominated Dr. Widmer and his staff for the Nobel Prize in Medicine because of the pain relief I enjoyed following the shot he gave me in my right shoulder. Thanks to everyone!

I am a physician myself . Dr Widmer is respected and admired by many in the physician community . I can see why We are fortunate to have a such a superbly trained and a well honed clinician and a technical master . He would be considered at any large academic center like Hospital for Special surgery or Hopkins at the level of a division chairman .
