Dr. Williams appears to do his best at determining what the problem is and how to solve it. Even when he is wrong in his diagnosis he still gives it the old college try at trying to figure it out.

I am a new patient of Dr. Williams and on my 1st visit I found my overall experiance to be a 5 star..Dr. Williams took whatever time was needed to listen then explain in clear detail my surgery options so I could make an informed decision.. Mark
Dr. Williams is a caring and compassionate person, he listens and gives valuable feedback. He returns calls promptly if you have concerns. Highly recommended
Excellent care. Great staff and doctors. Dr. Williams is very caring and knowledgeable.
I have received top notch care.
Basically a pain free recovery. Still experiencing some numbness but expect that to reduce over time.
Surgery on my right thumb went well. Thank you
Doctor Williams was great! Happy to say I do not have to wear the ace wrap the hospital told me I had to wear. Thank you Doctor Williams your knowledge is vast.
Dr Williams is caring, compassionate and a good listener.
I’ve been a patient of Dr. Williams for several years and as always, my most recent experience exceeded my expectations. It’s hard to imagine how surgery could be a pleasant experience, but under Dr. Williams’ care, I don’t think it could be any better. The staff, Anesthesiologist, assistants, etc are all kind, patient, and professional. I leave without any unanswered questions and with a full understanding of what to expect for next steps. And of course, I can’t forget the kindest finishing touch, being sent off with a beautiful plant/floral arrangement complete with a Get Well card from Dr. Williams himself. Highly recommend.
New procedure for trigger finger was performed by Dr Williams. He was wonderful and so was his assistant. They made me feel comfortable and secure in the procedure!
Love Dr. Maser
Always friendly and informative
Dr Williams is very compassionate and kind. He listens carefully to your concerns and explains e very thing thoroughly. All of the staff are very kind and considerate and I typically don’t have to wait too long past my appointment time to be seen
Great
Second time for me, wouldn’t let anyone else touch me!
Very thorough with explaining treatment and creating a comfortable environment for open discussion.
Great
It doesn't get any better!!!
Dr Maser fixed my back in 6 months, after I had gone to another doctor for 5 (five) years! He's the best.
Excellent and courteous. Always caring and professional. Will miss him.
My mom was in very caring and capable hands with Dr. Williams and his staff. Very professional. I want him for my orthopedic doctor as well.
