I am thoroughly pleased with Dr. Willis. He clearly explained what he was going to do regarding the cervical fusion he was going to perform. Following the procedure he found my wife in the cafeteria to assure her that all went as expected. She was greatly impressed that he cared enough to find her to explain how things went and what I should expect in my recovery.

I cannot recommend Dr. Willis highly enough for his expertise and care. He took the time to thoroughly explain my treatment options and answer all of my questions, giving me complete confidence going into surgery. The results have been fantastic, and the entire team at Arizona Neurosurgery & Spine Specialists was wonderful throughout the process.
