Surgeon Testimonial

Noel Williams, M.D.
I went through the entire process and was approved for surgery and offered a surgery date and five minutes before the surgery is to get started Dr. Williams comes out and looks at my stomach again and says I cannot do your surgery. You need a gastric bypass and I do not have permission from the insurance company and sent me home.
The inquiry by the Medical Board of Pennsylvania completed its investigation of my cancelled surgery and the official reason for the cancellation was insurance issues: 1:. There was a payment dispute with Medicare about not getting paid and 2: If the insurance did not pay for the surgery, Dr. Williams would have been financially responsible for all the medical expenses of my surgery.
It would have been nice to have been informed prior to arriving at the hospital and not having to wait a year and file a complaint with the Medical Board to get an answer for my cancelled surgery since I could not get it from Dr. Williams or his staff dispite many attempts.

    Sunday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench!
