EXCELLENT surgeon with a bedside manner to match! HIGHLY recommend! Dr. Bob did my double mastectomy and gallbladder surgeries as well as liver biopsies. They just don't make them any better! He took time to pray with me before he allowed them to put me into slumber for my surgeries! He's a BLESSING!

It has been 3 years since I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I was so blessed to have dr Williams as my surgeon. He coordinated my surgery with my plastic surgeon as well as my oncologist. Each time I go for check ups he is thorough and rejoices with you that things are ok. If there was ever a surgeon that God leads it is dr Williams

In all fairness, wait time was excessive because the appointment was rescheduled for the fourth time due to weather so he had more patients than usual. Also, because he takes time with his patients. When I did get to see him he was his sweet, caring self. He took my concerns seriously. There was no follow-up needed for this visit.

He made me feel like I was his only patient. I was no longer filled with fear as soon as he talked me through breast cancer. Having a man of God working to cure me was such a blessing.

He took upon himself to do things that were not necessary to be done in surgery. This has caused additional issues for me. I will not be going back.
