In patients' words
"Dr. Williams is an empathetic and caring practitioner of pain management... respects a person's pain experience and is very open to a collaborative approach to future care."
— URochester Medicine patient testimonial"He told me to see a therapist and when I said I was he said that I needed to use mindful imagery to wish my pain away. As if that wasn't the worst thing. Then I read his notes for the visit on MyChart. He lied about so much."
— Healthgrades review for Dr. John Markman"The glittering marketing rhetoric in their brochure about working intimately with every patient is not to be believed: this place is a mill: follow orders, pay your bill and don't ask questions."
