She gets right down to the point why you're there for the help
Friendly, great listener, asked questions I've never been asked before trying to understand my situation. Highly recommend.
Dr Williams continues to take my life in her hands and makes it possible for me to live in it everyday. When I started seeing her, my migraines and headaches were so bad, at one point I didn't think I could live anymore. She is the Queen of Headaches!!

I travel from Sedona, AZ to see her and will continue to do so.

Dr. Williams is the best. Shes so detailed and thorough, doesnt rush through her appointments, explains her thought process for prescribing a medication or completing a procedure. Ive had chronic migraine for 25 years and no one has been able to help me manage my condition as well as Dr Williams. If one treatment option doesnt work, she keeps trying until she finds something that does help. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

received full and comprehensive care.
Dr. Willliams helped solve a problem I have had with intermittent vertigo, nausea and vomiting for about 30 years. She is the only doctor that did not give up on me and was determined to find the solution to my problem. After several months of trying out different medications and treatments my vestibular migraines are very well controlled. This was a game changer for me. I am able to work without worrying about getting sick in the middle of my shift. I have not had to postpone plans or activities due to my migraines in about a year. I have my life back. Great doctor!
Dr. Williams is exceptional in her field. I followed her from the previous facility.
Dr Williams is always very thorough. I saw her at another office and she found me an appointment early enough so I could still get my Botox on time. She is an exceptional neurologist. Dr. Williams has been instrumental in making my daily life better.
When I first saw Dr. Williams I was living miserable days with horrible headaches and migraines every day. During the time in which she was treating me, there were days that I didn't know how I could handle this pain in my head anymore. Dr. Williams is not just incredibly gifted at what she does from a neurologist's point of view, but on a level, person-to-person meaning - "I know your pain and I'm here to help you because I know we can find a way to help you." I'm not an easy patient. I have Asperger's which tends to make communication a challenge at times. When you're asking a simple question, a simple answer may not always follow. Patience is noted when I know Dr. Williams could have just screamed. But she didn't. I like dark rooms, so she turns the lights off. I don't like being touched, but she makes me feel safe when she gives me a hug. Dr. Williams is wonderful and I will never forget what she has done for me. She has truly given me the strength, the faith, and the will to con
