Dr. Widmer practices family medicine with Matthew A. Braniecki, DO, at 3960 East Harbor Road, Port Clinton, where he treats patients of all ages.

Dr. Widmer is always incredible, living in Fremont and working primarily in the Toledo area makes it a bit of challenge at times, but I wouldn't have it any other way as Dr. Widmer has always taken great care of me and I fully trust he always will. I count my blessings that Dr. Widmer is my family doctor.
