I was referred to Dr Williams by Dr. Duval a fellow shoulder surgeon with LOS. Dr Duval said Dr. Willians had more experience with my particular shoulder surgery. He tried more conservative treatment first & suggested we wait on surgery while this less invasive treatment is working. He is patient, thorough, and I highly recommend him

I am blessed in the fact that I was in the best place along with the best people to provide me with the care I required. From the first visit throughout the entire process, the whole experience was beyond what I expected. Dr Williams and the entire staff were both very supportive , helpful, and professional. Any questions we may have were welcome and answered. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need. Thank you all for the care and attention that we received. May God Bless you all.

It took way too long to see Doctor. I waited almost an hour, then saw Dr. for what felt like ten minutes.

Dr Williams is an outstanding Surgeon. Had my surgery on 7/11/2025 and should finish PT the end of October. I had two torn rotator cuff tendons and torn biceps ligament in my left shoulder. I’m about 90% back to normal in my range of motion. Not bad for 74. Glad I had Dr Williams and yes I love the new LOS surgery Center. Thanks Doc and hope I don’t have to see you again but if I do I’ll be in good hands. Thanks to all the staff at LOS in Lafayette and LOS rehab in New Iberia, all polite and professional!

The guy that did the xray was kind and considerate. My appointment was with Brandon. He made sure my shoulder had healed and I was able to move it in different poses. He’s always a joy to be around. All good. A great check up
