Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

If I could give this man less than 1 star I would. He is arrogant and dismissive of patient concerns. I went to him with a positive MRI for a pituitary tumor. He was dismissive and claimed my issues were due to pcos. Fast forward I left him and went to a wonderful endocrinologist in Nashville who not only attentive to my positive mri but was searching the best treatment. She later discovered I had an adrenal tumor as well. Now due to her proper treatment I am now essentially symptom free. If I had stayed with Dr. Arrogant no nothing then I would still be suffering many unpleasant symptoms and probably have diebetes.

One of the worse doctors I have ever been to. Arrogant and self serving - he dismisses a lot of patients because they won't abide by his demands - he will not see latients leaving all the up front communication to his NPs who are as bad - this clinic has no idea what the Hypocratical Oath is - he is evil if you ask me - not qualified to be a doctor - he does not care about patients that do not bow down to him.

Absolutely love him! Has helped in every way possible to relieve some of the pain I have been experiencing for years and has even referred me to a Neuro Specialist for the pain he wasn't able to alleviate. Very concerned about his patients and them getting the help needed. Thanks again to him!

Dr. Williams is good in regards to knowing that your TSH needs to be around 1, or slightly lower, to feel best. He also started treating me when my TSH was around 3.5, which is still "within range" for most labs. Many doctors won't treat someone until they have a TSH of 5 or more. So, Dr. Williams in great in this regard. However, when my labs indicated I may need T3, he did not want that. He was also reluctant to give Armour. These things made me drop him. I have to live in this body!
