Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent doctor
I was truly worried about my GI symptoms. Dr Williams listened carefully, asked good questions and ordered tests. She got my diagnosis right away, got me on the right medication and today I feel great. I am so thankful! She is truly a wonderful and kind doctor.

Went off without a hitch.
I just had my fourth or fifth colonoscopy with Dr. Williams and all went well. Procedure started on time, anesthesia was perfect and Dr. Williams explained everything found after I woke up. I will continue going to her for my regular screening tests in the future.

Dr. Williams has been our go-to GI doctor. She saved both of our lives with her diagnostic abilities, both issues were extremely rare and she responded with her usual energy and persistence. Always a pleasure to be cared for by her.

My experience with Dr Williams was great until I had questions after my procedure. She would not return my calls and I was told the only way to speak with her was to make an appointment. Trying to get information from staff is very difficult. I went into my procedure thinking it was covered and was told so but then I received a huge bill and no one at the clinic will discuss it with me. I would be very hesitant to recommend this location.

If you want a doctor who has seen everything there is to know about your guts and will assuage your fears about your intestinal health, she's just perfect. I have the blood work for an autoimmune disease, and she knew all about what to test and look for and I'm glad that I had her year's of experience and to review my health. She's also very pleasant and, for all the afore stated reasons, you should book with her.
