I learned that I should have a knee replacement at this appointment, so after I went back home I think I suddenly felt overwhelmed with all of the information. I thought I was having a repair of sorts, but it’s actually going to be a replacement. That was my difficulty, not Dr. Williams’.

Dr. Williams is excellent and he always listens and explains well. He has done 2 surgeries, two small procedures and about to do a 3rd surgery on me. He is a Dr that I trust to do what is best for me. He doesn't sugar coat anything he gives the facts and I appreciate that. My husband got to met him for thr first time on this visit and he was impressed and understands why I use this Orthopedic andi have seen many before Dr, Williams. My husband said ,if I need a new hip or knee, I would want him to do the surgerye surgery because he seems to knw his profession is down to Earth and compassionate and empathic to his patients.
