Rating & Reviews
I used banner neurology prior to coming to PCH due to location. Once the arrowhead location opened up I was happy to move over. It has been the best experience ever. Everyone I have spoken to has been so kind and caring, they understand concerns about medication and quality of life while on medications. I will be sad when my child turns 18 because I would stay forever if I could.
Dr. Williams is an amazing doctor. He has been with my daughter for the past 7 years and has taken such great care of her. He is always available to let us know answer to our questions at anytime we need them.
Dr. Williams always treat us with respect and like family. Dr. Williams always treat my child as a human being and not someone with a challenge. He gives my son the time and right to ask questions and take care of his care each time. My son is able to make decisions and feels comfortable and accountable by Dr. Williams at all times. Thank you Doctor Williams.
I really appreciate how Dr. Williams has been so attentive to my daughter since she has had a spike in seizures. He made sure that she was seen immediately and addressed all our concerns. Super appreciate him and all his knowledge! My daughter is lucky to have such a good provider managing her epilepsy.

We always enjoy our visits with our provider. We come in with questions and we leave with understanding and answers that are easy to understand.
Hi, we've taken our daughter to see a lot of providers and this by far was one of our favorites. She was able to go over her whole history. He added a lot of links that show that she may be interested in and it was just an overall great experience.
