Dr. Williams should've been at the top of the list. He is the best eastern NC has ever had.

Dr. JM Williams is an outstanding doctor. He is one of the best EVER. Dr. Rodriguez, Dr. Kypson, Dr. Koutlas, Dr. Moran, Dr. Anderson, Dr. Ferguson, along with Dr. Chitwood are wonderful and they all should have been at the top of the list. Words cannot express their level of care and dedication to their patients. We have seen them in action for many years and can say that we are proud to work with such wonderful surgeons!
