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.

I had started seeing Dr. William's and had been a few times then, he suddenly just dropped me. They gave the excuse that I missed 5 appointments in a row. BULL! One of the days they told me was on a SUNDAY and another was a holiday. They charge you for not showing up and I was never charged. I have a very complex situation and i personally just think it was too challenging for him. Thanks for wasting my time. It's not easy to find a doctor now days, much less a good one.

Office staff rude and unprofessional. Nurse practitioner asks the same questions over and over. She must not be really listening to answers given to her. After almost 20 years of me and my family seeing this Dr I'm switching Dr. Very saddened by the way he and his staff run this office. I asked for a letter stating I was in good health and they said it's a $40.00 charge for this service. $40.00 for a piece of paper.! I have huge kidney stones for 2 weeks now. Pain med's & that's it.

I would not recommend any mother who has a special needs child to Dr. Williams. That is not is specialty area and he is too impersonal with the care of those babies. He keeps those type of babies from receiving the extra medical services from other agencies that they rightfully need.
