Excellent doctor. Very thorough.
A very good bedside manner. Explains things so patient can understand. Happy I was revered to Dr. Williams.
After my visit he was on the way out the door and told me to get dressed while I was fully clothed. I thought I mis heard him and said what and he more confidently said you can get dressed. I guess it was because I had on a crop top(and jeans). I was very obviously fully clothed and to imply that somehow during my appointment with him I was exposing myself to him in some way is disgraceful. Very inappropriate also he didn’t knock when he came in so just all over terrible bedside manner.
No waiting Friendly staff
Very concerned and very caring . They are willing to sit down and answer any questions you may have. Very professional. Would recommend anyone to them. One of the very best doctors I always heard from everyone. Now I know! Glad I went.
Always so personable, Dr Williams actually sat and listened to my concerns and took care of them without delay or extra procedures. Appreciated!!
