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.

Medicine As It should Be
Dr. Williams took a generous amount of time out of his busy schedule to address my concerns. He didn’t just rush through the conversation or offer a quick solution — instead, he explored various options and thoughtfully discussed the next steps. His excellent service was both thorough and reassuring, and it's comforting to know he's available if needed.

Great Doctor
Dr. Williams has managed my healthcare for years. He never rushes and answers every question. I hate doctors who talk down to you and he does not! He puts you at ease with his humor and calmness. I like that his years of experience give him wisdom but it is always evident that he continues to study new treatments and ideas. If you want a highly intelligent but caring and unpretentious caregiver try him!

Great, caring, doctor
Dr Williams took the time to go through my previous medications for my issue, them made a prescription and referred me for specialist treatment. During all this he was kind, concerned and patient. Overall, a great doctor who cares about his patients.

My 1st visit
I waited in the exam for an hour after the nurse took my blood pressure and asked about my medication. Then he came in for about 5 minutes and it was over. He didn’t examine me at all and had to ask him to order certain test for me. I won’t be going back.
