Patient Reviews: Allister R. Williams, M.D.

“After a bad fall at work, and seeing almost five orthopedic specialists in Wyoming Valley, Danville, and even Johns Hopkins' lead spine specialist, Dr. Williams was the only doctor to send me for the testing to prove I needed surgery, and put me at ease with my decision for spine surgery. He did the surgery, followed up monthly, and got me back to 100%. When I first went to see him, I had little hope. I was 44, walking with a cane, and figured my life was going to be like that going forward. I am back to work now, playing outside with my son, hunting, fishing, hiking, kayaking, lifting weights, and living life to the fullest! I referred several friends whom had the same results from seeing Dr. Williams. He gave me my life back! I would not go anywhere else. His staff was top notch, Pocono Medical Center was like staying at a 5 star hotel with my post surgical recovery! Hopefully I will never have to go back for any other orthopedic problems, but if I did, Mountain Valley Orthopedics would be my first and only choice!”

“Every time I have an appointment with Dr. Williams, the receptionist is very pleasant, and then when the nurse comes to get me for the examining room, she is also very pleasant. When Dr. Williams comes into to the room, he is always so nice and I know with some patients that could make a doctor grumpy by the afternoon, but no matter what time my appointment is, he is always upbeat, and he really seems to be concerned about my problem.”

“Everything at Mountain Valley Orthopedics is very organized, competent, and professional. I have been attended to by three doctors and two professional assistants and all of them have impressed me with the above listed traits.”

“Dr. Williams and his staff helped fix my back problem with surgery (a fusion) and I am good as new. I recommend Mountain Valley Orthopedics and its doctors to all of my friends and family.”

“Dr. Williams has been superb! My neck surgery went exactly how he explained it would. He is a great doctor that makes you feel at ease even when you are not. Would highly recommend.”

“In 2012 I was suffering from severe back pain so I went to the hospital. They referred me to Mountain Valley Orthopedics. On my first visit to Mountain Valley Orthopedics Dr. Allister Williams did everything he could to try to alleviate my pain without having surgery. After a couple weeks of physical therapy, Dr. Williams decided that I should have a first surgery. I’m not exactly sure how to pronounce the surgery or how to spell it, but things went well for about a month, however the pain came back. I then lost the use of my right leg and I had what they call drop foot. After exhausting all other options it came down to I needed a disc fusion. After fighting with the insurance company with 7 denials, I dropped that insurance company and went with another that Dr. Williams unfortunately did not take. Thankfully, Dr. Williams took it as a special case to work with them on my behalf. This new insurance company denied the first attempt at getting the surgery but Dr Williams and his staff fought very hard to get the surgery approved. I will say this, the day after my surgery I had next to no pain and do have the use of my leg again. It wouldn’t have been possible without the hard work of Dr. Allister Williams and Mountain Valley Orthopedics. After dealing with all the pain I had for a little over 2 years Dr. Williams has now given my life back to me. I cannot thank him enough for everything he has done for me. He allowed me to get back on my own two feet again. Being able to walk is something that I will never take for granted again. From this day forward if anybody I know has any kind of back problems I will be sending them to Dr. Allister Williams at Mountain Valley Orthopedics!”
