. From my initial consult to the removal of sutures I encountered the very best !!! To commend one and all is an understatement. Dr Williams is warm and friendly and truly a master in the field of cosmetic surgery. I wouldn’t hesitate to use this facility again and highly recommend it to anyone thinking of having facial surgery.

I was seeking a face and neck lift because, at 53, I thought I had gotten really old looking and I wanted a rollback of about seven years. I got that and more. You’re going to get more than you expect with Dr. Williams because he doesn’t just do the stated procedure, he finds the pretty. He has a real eye for that, and you won’t be disappointed. What’s more, you’ll look totally natural. When I went for my consult Dr. Williams recommended “too much” for me, both in terms of cost and in the amount of change I could deal with. But he was very easy to communicate with, and he scaled back the procedure to something that fit me. From a technical standpoint, I’m sure his recommendations were correct, but my result is exactly what I wanted. I don’t think I ever looked this good, even when I was younger. For anyone who is considering face/necklift, I encourage you to look at the many pictures on Dr. Williams’ website. Every single person is improved...significantly. I found Dr. Williams to be a good person, who is very talented, and who enjoys what he does. You can count on him to do truly excellent work for you.

I interviewed 4 Doctors to discuss my deep lines around my mouth. Everyone wanted to do CO2 laser which I know is extremely invasive. I met with Dr. Williams and his staff. We discussed a chemical peel procedure. He took his time discussing my options and I knew I was going to go with his recommendation. The procedure was not even close to the amount of discomfort I expected. The healing process was smooth without incident. The team continuity with care and contact was wonderful even after the procedure.

Every interaction with the staff, nurses, and physician was prompt, attentive, and executed with soft precision. Dr. Williams asked questions and listened about how I felt, my opinion of my physical appearance, and what I thought I needed to improve. He took his time and always focused on what I considered important. He then explained, in detail, the procedures that met my needs. We built an action plan together. When I woke up after surgery, there he was, smiling and quietly asking how I was feeling. At post op appointments, he looked everything over closely to make sure I was progressing as expected, and again...he asks, 'How are you feeling?" And he listens to the answer. It's surgery, be ready for swelling and tightness-but I had no pain, just a little soreness that was expected based on our discussions. This is a professionally trained and managed, serious surgery center, all wrapped in a warm blanket of calming culture and personal attention. The pre and post operative appointments are on time, every single staff member or nurse is consistently personable, and the bedside manner of the Dr. Williams is zero ego and all compassion. He really likes people and enjoys making making them feel better about themselves. My results are so good that people who know me stare a few seconds and say how great I'm looking..but they don't know I had surgery. I've recommended several friends, all say the same thing...Dr. Williams is amazing.

Dr. Williams performed surgery on my lower face and neck. I am 100% happy with the results. From the moment I walked into the office for my consultation I felt comfortable. Words cannot express how wonderful Dr. Williams and his staff treated me. My Patient Care Coordinator (Cheryl M) and nurse (Sue C) were extremely attentive (prior, during and after) the surgery. My experience was wonderful.

Dr. Williams and his entire staff were extremely professional and caring from the time I stepped into the office for my consultation and continuing throughout my post-op appointments. My experience and recovery were remarkably easy and I could not be happier with my decision in choosing the Williams center for my procedure.
