Well, just to say it briefly, I think he was an excellent physician. He showed me exactly what was wrong and I would definitely recommend him to anybody that I thought needed a neurosurgeon. Okay that thank you. Goodbye now.

I felt Dr Williams read my chart and test reports and was well prepared for consultation and discussion. I felt time consideration was not rushed. I felt my XRAY's and explanation of Dr Williams diagnosis was straightforward and in language I could understand.

Dr Williams explained the procedure I had thought might be helpful for my post stroke condition, and was very helpful in providing the pros and cons involved. I had already dnecided that the procedure might be a re ally great stress on my body considering my existing heart condition. and the decision to forego the surgery was somewhat of a relief.
