He’s such an excellent and caring Dr. I have recommended him to several ppl. I wish I could give him more than 5 stars. He’s very attentive and he takes the time to listen to what you have to say he make you feel at ease. I always get a good friendly laugh out of him just all around a good good person. I highly recommend using him for you're bariatric surgery and any concerns you may have.

In 1992 I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. By 2011 I had asthma, high blood , high cholesterol. I was taking 18 pills 6 and shot a day. I weighed 283lbs . A co-worker of my husband shared with me that Dr. Williams did her surgery. I went to see him the end of November and he did my gastric bypass surgery on Dec. 13, 2011.
Today Nov. 30, 2018 I no longer have asthma or take insulin.
My A1C is 6.9 BP 122/67 WT 150.3 lbs.
I wish I had done it sooner!
Thank you Dr.Williams

Dr Michael Williams and his staff is absolutely amazing! I recently had my surgery and leading up to no matter how many times I called and spoke with Jackie she was wonderful and helpful. Surgery was a success. No complications and surprisingly no pain around my incisions. I absolutely recommend this practice!

I can't say enough great things! First impressions are big to me so I'm going to compliment all the staff off the bat. From the initial phone call to the consultation to the nurses to Dr. Williams. Everyone has been so loving and kind and over the top helpful. ? I had Lapband surgery exactly a year ago and I feel great. Im getting healthier by the day. If I have any concerns or questions they get back to me right away and ive never had to wait long to be seen.I feel like I'm visiting friends

Dr. Williams seems to be a qualified doctor. He did perform an endoscopic procedure on me but was late 1 1/2 hours late to arrive at the hospital. I was scheduled for 10:30 am & he arrived shortly after 12 pm
His staff is totally disorganized. One person is calling me to confirm a follow up appointment & the nurse keeps calling me without leaving any details. The nurse, does not have voice mail & her extension just rings. Called back several times & was told my appt. was cancelled.

Dr. Williams specializes in counseling of obese individuals. IF one of the various types surgeries is indicated, Dr Williams is one of the most skilled professionals in the field. As of Feb 2017 I am 14 years out of bariatric Surg. Dr Williams has followed me closely monitoring my annual blood work. I follow his mentoring and I am within #10 of my all time low. Success is a partnership between Doctor and Patient. Dr Williams provides that partnership.

Dr. Williams is extremely professional and will always be there for you when you really need him! I went in for sleeve but my insurance would only cover bypass so that is what we did. I have lost 135lbs. in 11 months. I did have a minor complication but him and his staff was right there for me and he was able to make the corrections quickly. A few months later ended up needing my appendix removed and he was right there to take that out as well. I would highly recommend him to anyone!
