Laparoscopic and Endoscopic Surgery Institute, P.C. Bariatric Center

Dr. Williams was very soft spoken and very warm. From my research, I already knew he was very experienced at my surgery. He has a very calming manner. Without even conciously doing so, he made me feel at ease and important. His office staff is very thorough and caring as well. They walked me through everything I needed to do for approval. They encouraged me and cheered me on as if I were their only patient. I remember when I was in the hospital after my surgery (which was 9:30 am on Friday)I was pretty out of it the rest of the day. I barely remember my parents leaving. I have vague memories of the nurses coming in to give me shots and to check my vitals and get me up and walking around. One thing really stands out during Friday night. I don't know how late it was other than it *was* late. I was asleep and somehow sensed a presence at my bedside. At first, I thought it was one of the nurses. When I turned my head over, there was Dr. Williams with a warm smile on his face. He just wanted to stop in and see how I was doing. That really impressed me. Now, whether he was already at the hospital on some other business or not really doesn't matter to me. He made me feel special and that does matter to me. To date (5 days post-op) I have had no complications and I am mending nicely. My surgery was a Roux-N-Y and was done laprascopically(sp?). My parents report that the surgery lasted about 2 hours. The office has provided a very detailed after care program to see me all the way through. At this point, I'm just looking forward to the weight loss portion of the journey. I can't recommend Dr. Williams and Emory Dunwoody Medical Center highly enough. Everyone was just wonderful!

First Impression - quiet, soft spoken

Impression has not changed

Office staff, very freindly and willing to help.

There is nothing that I don't like about Dr. Williams.

He has a great bed side manner. Listens to me, answers all questions.

A complete manual is given at the pre-op appt that will help you at post-op.

Very structured aftercare program.

Video, one on one communication.

Dr, Williams gets a 10 in my book.

Surgical competence would rank #1, however bedside manner is important.

My Dr was WONDERFUL he is soft spoken. It was like talking to a friend. I had one complication adhesions he was at the emergency room in abaout 1 hour i was in surgery in the next hour he is the best Dr i have ever met I would do this again in 1 heartbeat i have my life back and my husbands attention back too !!!!!!!!!

He makes a very good first impression. I met him at his office the day of pre op testing. We talked the next day before surgery, after surgery & the following day just before I was released from the hospital. I liked him more with each visit. He went over all surgery risks and what we had to do to minimize those risks. He has a structured aftercare program of 3 phases. If you haven't decided on a surgeon yet I highly recommend him. His surgical competence & bedside manner are excellent.

I knew the doctor from m a co-worker who is his niece, he seems to be a very nice peron. His office staff are all nice cordial people. he was very informative about my after care and what is expected of me. The after care program is very structured and set up in a very organized fashion. His take on the risk were very informative through video and also reinterated at my formal session with him before the surgery. I rate Dr. williams very high in his professionalism and give him a high score but the surgery is tomorrow and I have yet to have a more indepth opnion. I believe surgical competence, and bedside manner are important.

Dr. Williams was absolutely wonderful from start to finish and very professional at all times. My impression of Dr Williams has not changed he is still the wonderful person he was when I first met him. His office staff is very warm and friendly. Future patients should know that if they want the best then get the best and he is the best. He is very firm about aftercare and is very concerned about his patients and there health. Yes, he has a very structured aftercare program. Dr Williams was very clear and up front about the risk of the surgery. He even warned of possible death, but unlikely. On a scale of 1-10 and 10 being the best, I give him a 10. They are both great.

He comes across very intelligent and confident, which helps assure me of his surgical abilities. He has been highly recommended by many in the Atlanta area. I feel very comfortable with his training, recommendations, and first impression. Dr. Williams definitely comes across to his patients as having a 'no question is a dumb question' policy. If you want a skilled and knowledgeable surgeon, which you can trust to care about you as a person and not just a patient, Dr. Williams is the surgeon. His entire pre- and post-operative program is very thoroughly structured with a well equipped friendly staff. When I come to my final decision on which procedure I would like to undergo, Dr. Williams will definitely be the surgeon of my choice.

I had a consultation with Dr. Micheal Williams on August 6, 2004. I really liked Dr. Williams when I met him. He seemed to really know what he does and like what he does. He answered all my questions and was not at all pushy or condescending. At one point in our conversation he refernced God and I really liked that! His office staff were very understanding and I was able to get an appointment right away. So far there's nothing about him or his office that I do not like.

Have not met him yet, will at pre op. I have two other fellow employees that have already had the operation through his office and have said nothing but good things about his staff and Dr William and Dr Champion.

Did finally meet Dr Williams, very nice person, I was very comfortable with him and his staff. He took his time with me and made me feel like I could ask as many questions that I wanted and I did have a few. He went over all types of surgeries and why we were doing Rx-y instead. Told me the risk up front and also told me how many surgeries he had performed with no problems to date. Overall rating excellent.

So far, I'm very impressed with the staff. Everybody in the office is very knowledgeable and kind. Dr. Williams is an affable fellow who had lots of good information for me and answered my questions in a very matter of fact way. He explained all the risks clearly. The office is HUGE on aftercare! Once a member of the practice, a patient is a member for life with no more fees etc.
