    I've been seeing Dr. Williams since my transplant seven years ago. I adore him. I've actually brought family members to meet him. He's personable and helpful and obviously a trained physician, so I always listen to what he says. I don't know what else to say beyond that, but he's been good.

    I've known Dr. Williams since 1990 when I went on kidney dialysis and I knew Dr. Williams when I received a transplanted kidney in 1994 and I still see Dr. Williams for the past, well, 30, 35 years. I think he's a wonderful person. I think he's an excellent doctor and I consider him as being a friend. I would recommend him highly. As a matter of fact, I recommended him to another transplant recipient. I gave his name many, many years ago and she also has a transplanted kidney and is doing well. Thank you very much.
