Never use him. HUGE ego. Dr. Williamson, don't talk during surgery. I was sedated but not unconscious when u talked about weekend plans, etc. HUGE egos must run in family b/c Brett Williamson has 1 too. When I asked him why vision still bad after cataract surgery, he said "Everyone's different." Not acceptable! Asked to see Dr. Williamson & put off at each request. Their assembly line process makes a stop w/clerk for high pressure upsell talk to buy more expensive uninsured lenses. 0 stars!!!

I don't trust him at all. He told me my eyes were now too dry to wear contacts and suggested I get LASIK. I did some research and got a second and third opinion and if your eyes are too dry for contacts you aren't a good candidate for LASIK because the surgery dries your eyes out. He may be a good LASIK surgeon but just make sure you're a good candidate because this place is nothing more than a surgery mill.

Dr. Williamson did cataract surgery on me last year and I am amazed at my new vision. He explained everything and I was very confident in my decision to use the Williamson Eye Center. Highest rating for this doctor.
