I didn't know if my pain was coming from my back or hip, but he called it right.

WARNING PATIENT BEWARE!!!! I spent over 2.5 years in/out of ICU because of this guy, including 6 months in a coma. While in a coma he refused to assist the team of doctors trying to save my life and a doctor from another hospital was called in. I would have to say this guy is less than human and is lower than pond scum when it comes to integrity.

I had seen other orthopedists, but came upon Dr. Williams by recommendation. So glad I did. His first questions were about me ... what did I do for work and fun, and what did I want to do after hip replacement. His surgical skills were exceptional, and he always had the time to answer all my questions. A great experience and two new hips to prove it!

Dr. Williams has performed four orthopedic surgeries on me for four different orthopedic conditions. He also monitored me after an elbow dislocation that was treated in an emergency room by an emergency room doctor. You couldn't find a nicer, more skilled and caring doctor. He has removed the fear of surgeries in me as I always know they will come out perfectly!
