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.

Outstanding surgeon with a positive outcome
Dr. William, as my friend called him, displayed an infectious attitude of empathy, understanding, reliability, clear communication for the patient to understand, and a friendly, caring attitude toward the patient's awareness and recovery.

An absolute professional
When I first met Dr. Williams, my nerves were shot over the condition that led me to see him. He was professional and confident that he could fix what was going on. He did just that, surrounded by a fantastic team.

The Best Heart Surgon
On February 24, 2023, Dr. Williams have performed triple heart bypass surgery on me. Next morning Dr. Williams and his team make me sit and stand up within less then 24 hours of surgery. On March 1st 2023 I was released from hospital. I was back at working on March 6. My heart Arteries were blocked 95%. My lower half of body arteries were blocked 100%. I do not know how I was walking without a stroke or heart failure. Today March 29, 2023 I just visited DR. Williams and he had informed me that all looks good and I can resume all my regular activities. From Diagnose to surgery and to recovery my life was in the hands of Dr. Williams. There are no words justify Thanking You enough to giving back me life again. May ALLAH (GOD) bless you, your family, and your entire team.

Dr. Williams you know this hurts so bad. I was your Christmas Miracle. You could have been honest and transparent with me and my family. My mom admired you and so didn't I. You could have told us I caught Clostridium Difficile Colitis while I was in the hospital. Treat me and be over with. Also, did you just miss that I was developing a bowel blockage that caused me to aspirate with the result of me ending up on ECMO and in a coma and the recommendation of my death? My mother and I was grateful I survived. We would have forgiven you. So why did you chose not to tell us about the Clostridium difficile colitis and telling my mom the aspiration was unexplainable? My mom and I truly would have preferred the truth. My mom would have said let's get this over with and get the right treatment for me. Instead, I was discharged with a contagious disease and was left to believe in a lie concerning events surrounding the aspiration. I am angry and my mom feels ashamed. God Bless

Dr. Williams did my triple bypass. He is beyond reproach in how he deals with his patients. If there were 10 stars, he'd have them all from me.

Excellent surgeon that cares about his patients. Takes time to listen to concerns, answers questions and makes adjustments to procedures and medications to ensure that other health problems will not cause additional complications. He gives you the confidence you need to know that he is the surgeon that you want to perform the procedure that you need.
