What Patients Are Saying

  • Aug 8, 2025

    I have been a patient with Dr.Williams for 25 years. Having had a lumbar fusion, I have seen other pain specialists. Dr. Williams is superior as a neurologist instead of anesthesiologist. He is also superior as a gentleman and caring physician.

  • Jul 21, 2025

    Dr.Williams had a very poor demeanor with me that day. He told me that I just had an appointment with his PA and I confirmed. That was for the Jtech tests I asked for. My PQME report was sent to Dr.Williams from my worker's compensation lawyer in May 2025. The PA said they both looked at it? However neither put in any comments regarding the report? They're my treating physicians and their comments pertaining to my medical condition. It's imperative to my case, especially since my lawyer disclosed were trying to close my case. Dr. Williams told me what am I doing there today! That was rude as heck! As if I was taking up his time with other patients. He was more concerned on getting back to his PA and gossiping about his vacation with his wife and her enjoyment than listening to me. I don't appreciate that.

    I feel that this Dr and team isThe best and I ALWAYS recommend them.

    I travel an hour for Dr Williams because he is very thorough and listens while asking follow up questions as he is looking to understand and diagnose my health problem
