Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

The thing that stood out the most at my visit with Dr. Williams is when he told me, 'You are going to feel like a new woman!' I honestly do feel better on this medication! He really took the time to look over my medical history and even asked some really important questions. I was well pleased with the visit and look forward to my eight week follow up.

Excellent experience~!!
I LOVE Dr. Doug Williams!! I'm SO HAPPY he is my new neurologist. I have Multiple Sclerosis and some other stupid diseases and I left there feeling SO encouraged. I'm giving excellence across the board to the entire practice from reception to triage to the doctor himself. Dr. Williams is kind and engaged--he truly listens, he's easy to talk to and asks good questions that help him zero in on my issues. I believe he's no-nonsense and I appreciate that. He's thorough, patient (he didn't flinch at my kagillion questions), answered my questions clearly--he's so smart!--he knows his stuff and then some! And he's a gentleman--helping me to balance when I needed help. I'm so grateful and relieved to be in his care. If you're looking for an excellent neurologist I highly recommend Dr. Williams! Thank you so much Dr. Williams and staff : )

AWFUL!! Would not recommend this Dr. or his FNP Singleton to anyone!! I would give 0 stars if it was an option! This doctor belittled me, provided no help and was downright rude! If you have another option, I suggest you take it! I DO NOT recommend this provider to anyone!

Front Desk is terrible! I have an appt to see him for the 1st time in Feb 2017. I want to know more about him, have a specific question, yet rec'd No office call-back after more than one week. I called again today, and shared briefly my need--Desk abruptly put me on hold with no explanation! After nearly 5 minutes (timed), I hung up. They did not call me back. I just want to find out abt the dr I will be seeing. Poor office attitudes are set by the Dr. I am going to try to get a new dr, pronto.

He was of no help. He prescribed drugs to a teenager that were ineffective to his condition, but also normally reserved for patients nearing end-of-life due to the damage they cause. 2 minutes each appointment...yes that is a TWO (2), ordered no eegs, mri, ncs,, blood tests, gave old-school prescriptions, and when told they didn't work, he TRIPLED the dose. The reason patients don't come back is NOT because he cured them, which he thinks, quite the contrary. I wish I could give him zero stars.
