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.

Prostate concerns
Dr Williams listened to all my questions and answered them in an easily understandable way. I have been very glad that he is my doctor with my issues and surgery. A completely positive experience.

He spent under 5 minutes with me listening to me explaining the reason for my visit and without even checking me told me take over the counter medication then he sent me a bill for full charge bill stating he spent with me 45+ minutes so my advice to anyone save your self time and money and go find yourself a REAL DOCTOR.

good discussion
Went in for a BPH check - all normal. Discussed need to urinate more often - unlike my dog who can go whenever he wants on our hour-long walks, I have to wait until we get home. Dr. Williams let me know that the urge "to go" is increased in cold weather as the kidneys and heart work to keep the extremities warmer, meaning more urine production. And the solution - use hand-warmers for a longer walk without peeing!

Operated on me in March of 2019. He was very cold and matter of fact about my pain and post op care. Gave me bad advice on several occasions. Have been in terrible pain since the procedure. PLEASE do yourself a favor and consider getting a second opinion before you have him do anything to you “down there.” I would never trust this man to touch me if I would have had any idea the long term pain and possible chronic suffering he has subjected me to.

Follow up appointment. Did not listen and dismissed concerns. Was not on time and spent very little time to answer a question. Seemed to contradict himself at times.

I was seen by and treated by Dr Williams who treated me with respect, dignity and compassion. While it is always somewhat unnerving, if not humiliating, going to Urologist - Dr Williams put me at ease and diagnosed my condition with precision and care. He asked relevant questions, but more important, answered my questions in a succinct and direct manner. I felt he had my best interest at heart.
