Needed a previous lapband install checked. By the time I left, I knew more about how my lapband had been installed and more about how it worked than the doctor who had installed it had ever told me. He was patient, answered all my questions, gave me suggestions as to options I might want in the future, but then assured me that none of them were necessary for my continued health. What a wonderful doctor. If I decide to revise my surgery, I will definitely return to Dr. Williams and no one else.

My husband had to have an emergency appendectomy. We had never met Dr. Williams until that day in the ER. We both felt very comfortable with him. He did an excellent job of explaining everything to us.

He is such a compassionate, focused, extremely knowledgeable physician who genuinely cares about his patients and lets you know without a doubt that he does. I have complete faith and confidence in him and his abilities and would very highly recommend him to anyone considering WLS or any other surgery.
