Surgeon Testimonial

Michael Williams, M.D.
Dr. Williams is the BEST! Highly regarded as one of the best surgeons in WLS, his care and compassion shines through. He's gentle and unassuming, understanding, listens well. I needed my surgery done laproscopically, for many reasons, not open, and he worked an extra hour and a half just to cut through all the lesions and scar tissue to make it happen! He did my son's surgery, too. Couldn't say enough about how wonderful he is. LOVE his nurse/assistant, too. She's great. Whole staff is so nice and personable. Risks of surgery were WELL defined. I DO wish there was more education prior to surgery (before just the day before) ... and that there was more aftercare.

My son just had RNY, too!
on August 21, 2008 3:27 pm

Today was my son's rebirth day! He had laproscopic RNY today, on the 5-week anniversary date of MY RNY. I'm SO happy for him and excited that we will be on this journey together! He's 20 years old and has a whole new life ahead of him! He is now 434 pounds and 6'3". Please keep him in your prayers! NOW we have to try to get this for my husband, his Dad! Mark is almost 300 lbs and is 5'10". He wants it really bad now (at first he wouldn't even talk about it, but he's seen how well I've done with it!). Hopefully, insurance will pay for it! They've changed plans mid-year and don't offer the surgery anymore, but my son and I were already in process, so they couldn't turn us down.
