Noel Williams Bariatric Surgeon MD, FRCSI, Director, Penn Metabolic & Bariatric

When I first met Dr. Williams, I was impressed to meet such a well groomed attractive doctor.Dr. Williams was very friendly and patient with my mother and I as he explained the procedure and the post-op. The staff was also very friendly and helpful in making sure I had all the information that I needed about the procedure (the pros and cons).Every time I have had to call the office for information or with an update, Dr. Williams staff has always been aware of who I am and very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend Dr. Williams to anyone

I met w/Dr Williams in mid Jan 06, the staff were all very friendly & informative. Dr Williams looked just like his picture. He was very nice & calm. He explained everything about the surgery & answered any questions & concerns. I did not feel rushed. He was a very pleasant man. I felt better after meeting him.

I HAD MY FIRST VISIT WITH DR.WILLIAMS IN AUGUST 2005. THE OFFICE STAFF WAS VERY FRIENDLY, AND I ONLY HAD TO WAIT ABOUT 20 MINUTES TO BE CALLED. ALL TOGETHER MY OFFICE VISIT WAS ABOUT 1 HOUR. I GOT TO MEET WITH THE NURSE, NUTRITIONIST, THEN DR.WILLIAMS. HE WAS VERY RIGHT TO THE POINT WHICH I LIKED, HE MADE SURE TO ASK ANY CONCERNS OR QUESTIONS THAT I HAD ABOUT THE SURGERY. I WOULD RECOMMEND HIM TO OTHERS THAT ARE PLANNING TO HAVE BARIATRIC SURGEY. HE DEFINATELY PRESENTED HIMSELF WELL AND GAVE ME A FIRST GOOD IMPRESSION.

Noel Williams and his staff are very professional and friendly.

Dr Williams and his team are caring, thorough and have their patients interest at heart, always!

I can' think of one thing about Dr. Williams I don't like, he was wonderful!

Just do what the team tells you, come to support meetings and you will enjoy success!

If I had to say anything negative, it would be that you have to wait so long for an inital appointment, but it is well worth the wait! Use the time to research and come to support meetings!

First appointment made in May of 2001.

First appointment 12/18/01
First visit with Doctor Williams gave me confidence in him. He seems like a solid professional. He and his staff spent a lot of time with me on the first visit, they all seemed to take pride in what they do and seem to care about providing you with the answers to your questions.

Dr. Noah Williams is a superb surgeon at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania whom I highly recommend. I met with him in my initial consultation and then, again, during the time I was admitted in the hospital. His program is comprehensive and he errs on the side of caution. I meet with his nurses during my office visits, and they have always exhibited extreme competence. The same is true with the dieticians. There is a monthly support group meeting staffed by nurses and dieticians and the usual attendence appears to be 100+ people.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr. Williams to anyone interested in the surgery. His surgical competence is without equal, his bedside manner is warm and patient.

Keep in mind, however, that Dr. Williams is extremely busy. My first post surgery follow up office visit was with his very competent nurse who efficiently and painlessly removed my drainage tube.

Dr Noel Williams and his staff are very professional and caring. They were wonderful. After meeting with him and doing the research and talking with patients that had previous surgery by him and his staff, I was full confident with my choice. It takes longer to meet with him and his staff but to have one of the best in country to do the surgery that is risky. You put your self in great hands.

My first impression was his manner and Irish accent.

I found him to be thorough in all explanations. He was also willing to take all necessary time to address my questions and concerns.

Nothing

He and his staff are helpful and always willing to be education and they were warm and supportive.

Yes.

Very thoroughly.

Excellent

both great

Dr Williams is very nice, although he seemed rushed. Office staff very nice. His nurse, Susan is helpful and I've made more than my share of calls to her to ask various questions.

What I like least...He always seems rushed

Aftercare consists of monthly meetings. I have arranged through a friend to attend additional meetings at the place where she had her surgery

Explainations of surgery and risks were handled well and with picture
