Matthew R. Willey, MD

Dr. Matthew Willey has been a much needed addition to my medical team. I became his patient about fifteen months ago, seeking relief for chronic back pain. I had seen other doctors but Dr. Willey was the best fit for my desire to remain as physically active as possible. I am 54 years old and an active, albeit not super fast, marathon runner. While I will eventually need surgery, I have already had one spinal surgery fifteen years ago and am in hurry for additional surgery. I also try to avoid narcotic pain relief whenever possible. Dr. Willey works with me for pain relief and adaptive measures to meet my activity goals. I find it easy to get an appointment when I need one, as long as I am flexible about which office I book. I appreciate his upbeat attitude and his willingness to fully involve me in the decision making process. I would strongly recommend Dr. Willey to anyone who is seeking relief from back pain.

1 out of 5 is the lowest you can score - it's too bad because he deserves a 0. I thoroughly researched Dr Willeys credentials, education and back ground before making an apt to see him. I wanted relief from the well documented chronic pain I'm suffering ( multiple back surgeries, and new MRIs detailing new problems ). I made sure he had the MRI reports and a physical copy prior to my apt. I also filled out a 3 page questionaire regarding the specifics of my pain. Dr Willey acted as if he was trying to rush me out, and obviously never checked the MRIs, data or info I provided. He also cannot prescribe pain medication - a fact that would've been helpful beforehand when you're thinking about making an apt. More than anything I wanted Physical Therapy - Dr Willey suggested hiring a private trainer. PT is mostly covered by insurance, I doubt they cover a trainer. I would highly recommend NOT going to Dr Willey. There are much more competent REAL Doctors who read the information you provide them, and are there to really help you
