Howard V Williams, MD

Dr. Williams is on the short list of reasons why we still live in San Diego. He’s the best and he has been the primary care Dr. for me and my wife for many years.
We are lucky to have him as our Dr.

One star because they do not take new patients! ???

Fantastic doctor. He really cares, listens and tries the simple treatments first. He isn’t about just going straight to drugs. He cares about your whole body and entire health.

Rude staff. I called to schedule an appointment and before I could even complete my sentence the nurse said «Dr. Williams isn’t accepting new patients.»
The lady answering the phone was curt and lacked consideration.

Dr. Williams has been my doctor for almost 20 years. He is fantastic Doctor who listens and cares for his patients. I recommend him highly!
The only issue I have is as I get older so does he and someday he will retire and I’ll need to find another Doctor.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Williams for 10 years now. He is a great & unique physian. He’s the type of Dr. you wish all your others were like. Above all, Dr. Wms. provides YOU and ONLY YOU with his complete and undivided attention from the moment you meet until the time you leave. …One thing that makes Dr. Wms. so special is that he always comes out to greet YOU in the waiting room, walks you back to his personal office to sit and talk about the reasons for your visit. He’s encourages openness and conversation …Directly from his office, he walks you to an exam room where he 1ST takes care of the basics (NO NURSES) and then to the reason you’re there. There are no waiting rooms, no nurses, just one great Doctor who takes care of you from the time you arrive till the time you leave.

I’ve been a patient for 15 years. Dr. Williams is the most caring Dr. I have ever had. He really listens, and knows how to get to the crux of the issue quickly. He always gives me a written summary of our visit — on a small sheet of paper. Nothing fancy, but it helps remember the key things. His nurse practitioners are the greatest also.

My husband was a patient of Dr. Williams for many years. However after multiple issues with the doctor, never being able to schedule an appointment to see him, and his nurse practitioners missing an important diagnoses, we have decided to change doctors.

Dr. Williams has been my primary care doctor for 10 years. Very professional and personable. I highly recommend him. He also worked through lunch to see me when I was in a car accident and got lousy care at the emergency room. He made sure that I was able to get an MRI on the same day, which showed major damage to my shoulder… something that was completely missed by the emergency room doctor.

Dr. Williams is one of the best in town. I had a hard time finding a good general doctor but I scored when I found Dr. Williams. He is very personable and does not make you feel like you are wasting his time. He answers all of your questions and returns his phone calls. Yes, he calls you with answers and follow ups. He really cares about your well being and is very knowledgeable.

He is absolutely the best in town, as is his partner Dr. Israel!
I had a recommendation for him from a retired doctor and he was right.
When you go to your appointment, the front office staff is very friendly and professional. When it is time for the doctor to see you, he comes out to greet you. Yes indeed! Dr. Williams comes out to get you, greets you and shakes your hand. You proceed to his office to discuss your medical issue, then he escorts you to the exam room. From there he takes care of everything.
He does not pass you off to a nurse or medical assistant. You are there to see him and that is what you get. Professional, empathetic and paying attention to you. Now that’s what a doctor should be like.
