Dr. Willenborg performed my foot surgery. I can’t say enough about him and his staff. Everything went well from start to finish. I’m still in my recovery stage and everything is going well. All the people at the office are so friendly and helpful.

Dr. Willenborg performed surgery on my foot to remove a Morton’s neuroma/nerve. The entire process (diagnoses, treatment, scheduling of surgery, and surgery) went really smoothly. Staff in the office and surgery center are all very professional and helpful and Dr. Willenborg did a great job. I have already referred a friend and highly recommend Dr. Willenborg and Orthopedic Associates.

I wouldn’t go anywhere else for my or my families orthopedic needs. My husband and I each have seen Dr. Cantrell and Dr. Willenborg and highly recommend them both. Dr. Willenborg’s nurses, Melissa and Michael are kind, understanding and helpful as well. I couldn’t recommend this office more.
