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.

The staff at LOS is outstanding couldn’t ask for a better place to be. I didn’t have to wait long to see the dr. He explained everything about my issues and the plans ahead. He gave me the injection in my shoulder without any pain.my respect for him and the staff are beyond words. Most awesome people I have ever been to I highly recommend him to anyone with joint pains.

Dr Visit
Dr. Williams was very professional. He explained my injury thoroughly and offered advice for me to make decisions. The associate taking my information down was curt and was more worried about playing her monopoly game on her phone than being courteous.

Great initial visit!
The check in process was very easy, however a legal length clipboard would be better for filling out the lower portion of the forms. Everyone was friendly and polite. This was my initial visit with Dr. Williams and he greeted me like we were lifelong friends.

Outstanding
This was my first time with Dr. Williams, he showed me all the X-Ray’s they took, he analyzed in great clearly understandable detail, he then did the same for my MRI from earlier this year, again fine fine details. Extremely helpful to understand exactly what my situation is, excellent discussion.We then discussed how to go about connecting with him whenever I experience a similar issue.
