Also, I recommend Dr. Widmer to everyone I know. I am very thankful we met her after our child’s delivery at Delnor almost 4 years ago. That made me realize we needed to have her as our family pediatrician, and we switched soon thereafter.

We love Dr. Widmer... she is kind, caring, compassionate and knowledgeable. She always takes all the time needed and never rushes patients out. She stays on schedule regularly and she is amazing with babies and children. She is thorough and always makes sure you leave rest assured. Highly recommend HER and when I do it's with a big warning of the sacrifices associated with her practice being part of NM and your extremely unfortunate policies. Patients deserve to have access to the Dr's offices directly and comfort in familiarity - you strip that away with call centers and rotating staff. Which is a huge deal especially in pediatrics.
