Michael Williams Bariatric Surgeon M.D., F.A.C.S.

Dr Khan, SIMPLY THE BEST!

I was referred to Dr. Michael Williams by Nurse Lynne Winne, Bariatric Coordinator for Emory Johns Creek Hospital which is a center of excellence for Bariatric Surgery in Johns Creek Georgia. Lynne Winne referred me to Nurse Janet Yandow, who works for Dr. Williams. I called her and was immediately impressed with her knowledge and attitude.
My first and second visits were very professional and the staff is top notch! Nurse Janet Yandow is a true professional as she has had weight loss surgery herself and understands the rigors which we go through.
My Lap Band Surgery went smoothly and I was done before I knew it. Dr. Williams came in and talked to me several times before and after the surgery.
It is now week 8 and I have lost 41 lbs and have never had a single problem. Not even throwing up or "sliming". I had my second fill on May 17th and I can eat about 5 to 6 oz. before I am full. Ta-Da! No problems.
I therefore heartedly endorse Dr. Michael Williams and his staff of professionals.

My first impression was great. He sat down and answered all my questions. I am a vegatarian and he made me feel comfortable about what I should eat after the surgery. His office staff seems nice. Can't wait for the surgery!!!

Met Dr. Williams for the first time today. I was so impressed. He pulled up a chair, sat down and really talked to me, very personable. Every person on his staff was friendly, helpful and personable just like Dr. Williams.

My first meeting of Dr. Williams was in the OR at Emory just before he did my endoscopy to look at my surgery. He was very personable and I liked him immediately. I felt this was the right decision for me. Jackie, in his office, got my approval through BCBS in record time! I am blessed!

He was very informed and concerned that i was confident with the procedure i wanted. He was great and spoke with me individually about my concerns or questions. The office staff is fantasic. Everyone was nice and helpfull beyond my expectation. They have went above and beyond to make this process easier for me. They let you know exactly what your in for. There are no sugar coats and you have to sign an agreement stating that you will do your part for recovery and long term healthiness. Overall, i couldn't imagine going to anyone else.

Let me just give you some background to start with. I reside in Calhoun GA and there are other Bariatric Surgeons closer to me. So, it was hard on me trying to choose where I wanted to have my WLS. rnrnI had met a lady named Ginger on OH that I became really fond of and she was based out of Alpharetta GA. And that is how I became acquainted with Dr. Williams.rnrnI really liked Dr. Williams from the very beginning. He has good bedside manner and took the time to address every question I had. His office staff is outstanding. Jackie and Janet are the only two I had dealings with at the office and they were wonderful. Very courteous and helped me in anyway I needed before and after surgery. rnrnNorth Fulton Regional Hospital, where Ginger works offer monthly support group. Dr. Williams, his staff and Ginger are very adamant on this. They want you to attend. If not with them, like in my case, somewhere close by. Which is what I'm going to to. They offer support groups in Rome Ga or Dalton Ga. I haven't decided exactly which to attend just yet, but I will attend. I will also go to North Fulton's on occasion. It's just once a month. rnrnI am so glad that I decided upon Dr. Williams. I really like Ginger and appreciate her. She was a big help in the beginning as wall as Janet. So, yeah, If I were going to make a recommendation....it would be with Dr. Williams at North Fulton with Ginger.

I am a patient now for Dr. Williams for my revision to RNY! My surgery date is 4/9/09. (My original surgery Lapband info is as follows)...As of today, 10/26/04, i have changed my surgeon to be Dr. Lee Grossbard. He is amazing, he has a band himself. I am already in love with him, his office, and staff. They are great!!! I can't say enough great things. They went the extra mile to really help me and to get me into their office when I had a unpleasant situation with my former surgeon. Thank God, I hadn't had surgery with them (The Wish Center)

My first impression of Dr. Williams was that he is a very laid back and professional person. He has a good sense of humor, and didn't seem intimidating like some doctors. His office staff is wonderful, and I can't wait to have surgery with him.

I had the RNY (lap) on 1/15/2009. Dr. Williams performed my surgery.rnrnMy first visit to his office was very pleasant. All my questions were answered Jackie and Janet took the best care of me with regard to making me feel comfortable about my decision and any concerns I had regarding surgery, recovery, and life after surgery. If I had it to over again I would definitely pick Dr. Williams and his staff.
