Timothy L. Williamson, MD

"Friendly and professional staff. Everyone is so friendly and they make you feel like family. I’m thankful you are in this area to care for us when we need you."

"I received subpar treatment from Dr. Timothy Williamson as an adult patient. I was in the midst of treatment with Dr. Williamson and he canceled his appointment with me 40 minutes beforehand because he was apparently figuring out his schedule. It was incredibly odd and unprofessional. The receptionist was very rude and did not even apologize for the cancellation. When I asked when the appointment could be rescheduled for, his office staff told me they'd call me back and hung up. So I waited for a call back. About a week after my initial appointment had been canceled, Dr. Williamson's receptionist called me on a Friday after the office had already closed and told me to call on Monday to reschedule my appointment. I called her back on that following Monday and left a voice message around noon. Not hearing back, I called the office at 4 pm and the same receptionist picked up. I told her I needed to reschedule the appointment. She told me, "We'll call you back" and abruptly hung up. She hung up so quickly I couldn't even ask when I might be able to expect a call back to simply reschedule my appointment. Very unprofessionally, I didn't hear back from the office for over a week and was left in a state of limbo regarding my treatment with Dr. Williamson. At the time of this cancellation incident, I was being treated by Dr. Williamson for follow-up for blood test results that I was told would need to be reviewed in person and a skin condition on my thumb that had not resolved despite three prior appointments I had had with him. I later found out that Dr. Williamson had misdiagnosed my skin condition, which I only found out after going to a dermatologist that I had persistently asked Dr. Williamson for a referral to. Additionally, I had an inflamed cyst at the time of the cancelled appointment, which I notified Williamson's office staff of and it was one of the reasons I wanted to be seen. For the skin condition, I had been prescribed Triamcinolone Acetonide Cream by the dermatologist. As my skin was raw and bleeding, I wanted to check with Dr. Williamson that I should proceed with using the Triamcinolone Acetonide Cream as it is only for topical use and is contraindicated for treatment on open sores. So I communicated with Williamson's office staff that I had hesitancy about proceeding with this treatment and hence wanted to consult with Williamson as my PCP- it seems this question was never relayed to Dr. Williamson by the office staff/receptionist because I never heard back on this question and I was left in the dark trying to navigate this health issue. I also realized I needed to get my blood test results and so I decided to do this despite the appointment cancellation. I logged into Quest (who performed the blood test) and requested my results. Some parts of the blood test results were concerning to me and I was shocked that Dr. Williamson had not reviewed these test results with me (even over the phone) and had actually cancelled the appointment 40 minutes beforehand. Given the blood test results, I am not sure if I will require further testing and was given no treatment instructions by my former primary care provider Dr. Williamson. I have since decided to sever my treatment relationship with Dr. Williamson due to the treatment being what I believe to be far below the standard of care for the field."
