Dr. G.J. Willden grew up in the Gunnison Valley. He graduated from Snow College; then continued his undergraduate education at the University of Utah where he completed his Bachelor’s degree in Biology. He graduated from the University of Utah School of Medicine in 2004. He subsequently completed a Family Medicine residency at McKay-Dee Hospital in Ogden, Utah before returning to the Gunnison Valley in 2007 to begin practicing medicine.

For the past 12 years, Dr. Willden has served almost exclusively in the emergency department (ER) at the hospital. He loves the opportunity to help his friends and neighbors, of all ages, get the emergency medical attention they need and deserve. 

When not treating patients, Dr. Willden enjoys spending time with his wife, Emily, and their four children, working on his father’s farm, and living an active lifestyle.
