Williams Erik J MD

I cannot recommend Dr.Williams.
Having experienced flashes of light, I called for an appointment and was told that the first available was 2 weeks later. So far OK. But when I arrived, his nurse did all the eye exam and took down the information. I then waited 45 minutes listening to Dr. Williams tell his nurse to cancel all his afternoon appointments and chat loudly in his office with a friend about baseball. When he finally called me in, he didn’t actually physically examine my eyes further himself, but just told me that my symptoms were «normal» for people my age, and if my vision got dramatically worse I should come back. It rapidly got dramatically worse and when I called to try to make a follow-​up appointment, I was again told that two weeks was the soonest I could be seen. When I explained that I was shortly leaving for a business trip to Bangladesh and hoped to be seen before that, his receptionist told me in a very snotty tone of voice that if I was «in such a big hurry» I should just go find another doctor, which I did.

That doctor (Dr. Ketover at Milauskas Eye clinic) was able to see me the very next day, actually examined my eyes himself, AND took an O.C.T., which revealed an adhesion that was rapidly developing into a macular hole and referred me immediately to a retina specialist (Dr. Clement Chan) who has been treating me ever since and was able to prevent a macular hole from becoming a more serious detached retina, thereby avoiding surgery.
Based in my experience, and comparing that with subsequent treatment received by other opthamologists, I would not recommend Dr Williams or his front office staff in terms of promptness, courtesy, availability, or due diligence with patients.
