I had a mini chin lipo done by Dr. Williams and it has been a huge benefit to my confidence and was exactly what I wanted. The initial consultation all my questions were answered and he explained the process so thoroughly. When it came to the actual procedure, all the girls were so sweet and understanding of how nervous I was. But the second Dr. Williams came into the operating room all my nerves went away because he is genuinely caring and talked to be the whole procedure which was maybe 30 minutes. I'm healing great and can't wait to see the continued progress

Without a doubt I can not say enough about Dr. Slaughter and his entire staff. The amazing way my 83 year old Mom now looks after losing 1/2 her nose to cancer! From the time you call for appointment, to pre-op, surgery nurses to post op nurse, they are all truly amazing. Thank You Dr. Slaughter for making my Mom beautiful again and to your entire staff!

It's taken me some time to write this review but I've decided to so that others will not experience what I did. I went to multiple surgeons in the area for a consultation and was most excited about the consultation I received here because it was every thing that I wanted. I was looking for a medically necessary breast reduction, and when I went in the doctor asked me what I was hoping for and what would look best for my BMI.
He explained how he was going to write a claim the insurance company couldn't refuse to achieve what we had spoken about, and shortly after I received a vague letter in the mail that it was accepted! I was ecstatic. Scheduled the surgery, had multiple pre op appointments (that are not free) and shortly before the surgery I called to meet with the doctor just to go over what we were doing one last time as this was my first ever surgery and it's a huge deal to me. Also, I was still shocked that what ever he had said in this claim to my insurance worked to get what we discussed, which was not removing much at all but just enough to relieve the pain and fit my body.
When I went there for the meeting that I requested, I met with a front desk woman whom I had never met before who told me that the surgery I would be receiving was going to remove almost all of my breasts, and was absolutely nothing that we had ever discussed during my consultation, or any thing that I ever asked for him to submit to insurance. We discussed one goal and never discussed any thing other than this.
I was obviously incredibly upset because I was probably a week away from my surgery date. There's a lot of planning that goes into this, time off from work, psychological preparation. They then had the doctor come in to explain to me further, so much so that he said it would remove so much tissue from my breast and make me so disproportionate that I would probably want a breast augmentation after.
Why would you ever let a patient do that? Finishing off with that if I wanted what we discussed in the consultation I could pay 8,000 that day in full. I would have absolutely paid, had the money months prior or set up a payment plan for what he put on the table had he told me that was the case, not that he was going to put it in for insurance. At this point I obviously didn't want them touching my body.
If there were two options I should've known. OBVIOUSLY. If I had never set up to meet with them and ask the questions I had, I would have blindly and trustingly went in to a surgery and ruined my 25 year old body, and they would receive my insurance money for something we never discussed, and be done with me. Or maybe I'd come back for a breast augmentation! HA.
Never heard from them again. Sorry but there is no such thing as a miscommunication when it comes to surgical procedures. Be VERY careful. Be VERY direct. Ask your questions. You are not a person here you are a dollar sign.

I cannot express how delighted and satisfied that I am with outcome of the surgery I had with Dr. Alain Polynice and the staff of the Plastic Surgery Center at the Williams Center. Dr Polynice listened to what goals I wanted to obtain through surgery. He explained the procedures that would get me my desired affect. With his expertise and artistry he gave me those results.
The staff and Surgeons were supportive and available for me throughout recovery. I appreciated that all of the staffing, from booking through the OR and post op were professional and kind. Being treated well as a patient is so important. And the Williams Surgery Center is simply the best at patient respect and care.

I've always had great experiences at the Rejuva Center. Devyn always greets me with a smile and is so easy going and friendly when taking first timer / progress photos. She makes me feel at ease before any treatments, calms any nerves and is so reassuring about the positive results I always get. I loved my microneedling treatments and will keep returning for more knowing I'm in good care. Thank you Devyn and the Rejuva Center!

I cannot say enough about The William's Center & each and every member of their team. They are SO welcoming, helpful & most importantly so kind. You will have the most positive experience here & I recommend to everyone who is in search of a comfortable place to receive cosmetic/plastic surgery and non-surgical procedures. Each physician has a specialty which is so important - you know you're receiving the best care because they are experts at what they do! You will not be disappointed.

I had half my bottom lip removed due to cancer. I had MOHs to remove the cancer then went straight to Dr. Slaughter for plastic surgery. Dr. Slaughter put my mind at ease before the surgery as I was very nervous it was always going to be noticeable. My lip has healed perfectly and one would never know there was ever an issue. I cannot thank Dr. Slaughter enough.

I just finished up my 2 week post op with Dr. Polynice. I had a breast implant replacement and skin reduction. This is my 3rd breast augmentation. 2 done by previous doctor and I have to say I'm so in love with this pair. They look amazing! Easily the easiest recovery I've had. But what is more amazing is The ENTIRE staff at the Williams Center, let me tell you how I have never ONCE felt like I was just cash flow or a number on a chart with them. Everyone is attentive, keeps their word, and friendly! Such beautiful people. Dr. Polynice has given me the most amazing chest ever!

Dr Williams is a wonderful surgeon he is exceptionally gifted at his craft. He has always been supportive and kind to me. The whole experience was just terrific. The nurses and support staff are amazing to deal with. The Surgical unit runs like a well oiled machine. I was so impressed and all the while being treated like a queen. I would recommend this facility to anyone considering plastic surgery.
My face lift was exactly what I wanted and expected. When I returned to work, people were just amazed at how wonderful I looked. Most had no idea that I had a face lift, but they knew that whatever I had done, it was working for me! Thank you Dr. Williams and staff, I am eternally grateful to you for making me younger!
