A Message from Michael Wilmink, M.D.At six years old, I decided I wanted to be a Brain Surgeon. I obviously didn't know what that meant at that age. I played water polo from a very young age and at age 15 started playing on the national team. I played on that team through my third year in medical school. We traveled around the world to play and always had our team physicians with us. The exposure to that profession peaked my interest. The sports side of the profession and the daily problem-solving confirmed my decision to go into orthopedic surgery. Nothing ever presents the same in orthopedics. I like getting people back to doing what they love. I have a commitment to my patients to get them back to where they want to be. The best day for me is when I see a patient walk into my office that was in ICU for 3 months and we didn't know if that person would live or die. You become emotionally involved with those patients. I treat my patients like family. First and foremost, I'm interested in you as a person. My first question when you come into my office is about what you do, what you enjoy doing, not about your injury. But paying attention to the personal side doesn't mean that I am not in touch with the latest orthopedic techniques. Dr. Wilmink is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Tendinitis. His top areas of expertise are Osteoarthritis, Bursitis, Tendinitis, Knee Replacement, and Hip Replacement.

My feet have hurt me my entire life! As a young athlete in high school I was diagnosed with a congenital foot problem, and the first doctor I saw offered to sell me his old violin and advised me to stop playing football.   Inspite of the physical limitation placed before me, I was undeterred to obtain my goal. I eventually found a doctor who listened to me and was very helpful in teaching me about my problem, and how to best deal with it.   I attended Utah State University on a full ride football scholarship. I continued to deal with my foot pain, and it was during this time, I decided I was going to help others with their foot problems.I know from first hand experience, it's important to be a doctor who listens to his patients, who is able to teach and communicate, and is able to present a helpful, individualized treatment plan for every patient.I find great satisfaction and happiness in helping people of all ages over come their foot pain and realize their physical goals.
