I had him as my doctor when I was a kid. I always loved to go see him and I’d always ask for a hug before it was time to go. When I was around 2 I got super sick and he told my mom I’d need to go to the hospital right away. And I hugged him “Thank you Dr. Williams!!” With a big grin on my face. He was kinda shocked and told my mom I was his first patient to ever hug him after saying that they needed to go to the hospital. He was an incredible doctor when I went to him and I’m sure he still is to this day. He made the doctors office feel fun and light hearted. He’d crack jokes and could always make you feel comfortable in whatever situation you’re in. He’s an amazing doctor and an amazing person. I highly recommend

My son has seen Dr. Williams for 10 years. He is an excellent Doctor. My son just loves to see him and never worrys about going to the doctors office. I have never had a problem getting in to see him. Dr. Williams answers all my questions and take every one of my phone calls / returns my call promptly also. Not enough words to describe what a wonderful doctor he is.

We have used Dr. Williams for 4 1/2 years and do not have a single negative thing to say about this doctor. His bedside manner is above and beyond what anyone would or should expect. My son likes going to the doctor and even asks to stop in to say hello to Dr. Dave and Nurse Judy. Dr. Williams is hard to get in to see since he just reduced his office hours to two days per week.

Dr Williams is a terrific doctor, so caring and really seems to take a personal interest in both of my daughters and their health. I never have problems getting an appointment the same day (for sick child visits) and he is always willing to answer all my questions and never hesitates to make himself available for consult in times of ill health (chronic condition). Excellent physician, wouldn't change for anything!
