Incompetant doctor. She's not into wellness, exercise or eating right, so she never asks about lifestyle changes to improve health. She has a prescription for everything. She ordered a urine culture while I was on antibiotics which is a waste of money and time since no infection would show up while on antibiotics. She wanted me to stop seeing my asthma specialist and see her instead, change my meds that were working okay, and told me lung function tests were not necessary, which is outrageously wrong. Then she told me I might have bladder cancer when I complained about frequent urination, so I went to a urologist and no bladder cancer. That was it. No more. What an incompetant and poor excuse for a doctor.

Horrible doctor, walks in says nothing... Barely looks at me, but i already new what was wrong. Tells her staff to call the pharmacy with my perscription (didn't tell me what she was giving me), then when i go to the pharmacy her staff never called in the perscription. Finally when I get them to call in the perscription I find out she ordered 2 different antibiotics and another medication for a very simple illness. I only bought one off the antibiotics and I am fine now. Clearly a medication pusher, its also obvious she has made friends with the pharmacy next to her to push medications. If you do get a perscription from her tell her you want to go to your pharmacy.

People need to give Dr. Williams a little credit. She's not the friendliest doctor in the world, but still she doesn't treat you with complete indifference. She remembers me when I come in and remembers what she has prescribed/asked me to do. If you have a problem with her personality, get another doctor, but it doesn't affect her skill. To me, the biggest problem is the staff. It's constantly rotating and no one really seems to know what's going on. Twice, I've had lab orders or referrals get lost in the shuffle. If you can get past that, Dr. Williams is competent and my husband and I will continue to go to her!

OMG! I agree with the above ratings. This doctor is quite a character. She tried to change a medication that I have been on for many many years. I have High Bld press. I have been monitoring it for years and its been in normal range. and my first visit w/her she indicated that it wasn't controlled. my second visit, she was reviewing my medical records from my previous dr. she said what do you take for diabetes? I said I don't have diabetes. her reply are you sure? she called me w/my blood results and told me that I was diabetic, which was untrue, because my blood result indicated that i was well w/in the range of a non-diabetic. She just wanted to give me drugs. I believe that she is a dr. that pushes medicines, rather than addressing the issue. I didn't like her and I was a bit distraugt after seeing her.

I have read all the above comments. Except for [1] I agree with them all. Dr. Cleo Williams is one of the WORST Doctors I have ever seen, and I've seen a lot! I am a quadriplegic, and basically bedridden. I had her as my "Home-Visit" physician for about [2] years. Dr. Williams and her nurse, Virginia, only visited [3] times in both those years, and even then I had to call several times before an appointment was made. The first time her and her nurse came, Dr. Williams walked right past me without introducing herself. She just went and sat down at my kitchen table, and started taking notes. After her last visit my brother-in-law called her a 'cold fish.' Her "ego" is almost as big as she is. There is no doubt that Dr. Williams is truly unprofessional, rude, crude, (and in my opinion), an embarrassment to the medical profession. I would advise anyone who is considering signing up as a patient of Dr. Williams to think twice. I pity anyone who has to deal with her and* her staff.

I've had this doctor for years because I've switched jobs a few times and have not had an opportunity to get a new doctor. She has the worst bedside manner and is not thorough. I went in for an annual exam and she hardly did anything. Just a pap and I got dressed. I had to ask for blood work.

We just came from this doctor and I wish I could have read these postings before we went. EVERYTHING STATED BY OTHER PATIENTS IS COMPLETELY TRUE. Both my wife and I just experienced everything written here first hand. DO NOT GO TO THIS DOCTOR. Rude, unprofessional, wait time of two hours (we had to pay the parking attendant in pennies for lack of cash. Didn't know we would be there for over two hours!), and the duties administered as a doctor were probably the worst experienced by us ever. My wife is in tears right now. Never has she had a more unpleasant doctor's visit in her entire life. The "doctor" did not answer her questions, looked at her like an idiot when she asked questions, cut her off and made her get dressed before completing the appointment, and then, did not tell my wife about her perscription and then told her other things at the end of the appointment in front of other patients. Two other patients who came in after us were seen before my wife. WORST "DOCTOR" EVER!

I have been with Dr. Williams for years, and have tried to excuse the fact that I always feel as if she is doing me a favor by treating me. Her dismissive tone makes you feel like you and your "problem" are just another obstacle in her day she needs to work around as quickly as possible. I am not the type to run to the doctor with every small complaint if I go to the doctor I have to be feeling pretty terrible. She treats me usually by negating what I am telling her, And usually ends up prescribing something and that's the end of it.

Dr. Williams is the worst doctor I have ever interacted with. She gives all Doctors a bad name. She is rude, greedy, and downright arrogant. She took my simple question as a challenge to her "knowledge" and ripped in to me like a crazy person. This woman is the worst Doctor I have ever met. I saw her nurse AND office manager close to tears on at least 2 occasions. She yelled at her office manager so loudly, everyone in the waiting area could hear her. If she had not paid big money to buy the retiring Doctor's practice, she would never have a single patient. Unfortunately, even her office staff is pretty incompetent. The office manager is almost as rude as Dr. Williams. The clincher for me was when a cardiology specialist, whom she herself referred me to, rolled his eyes when I shared Dr. Williams' opinion. I decided to leave her at that instant. Seems like she has developed quite a reputation among her peers in Pasadena!! I am with a new doctor now, and very happy!
