Anyone have experience with Dr. Noel Williams @ Penn Medicine?

I am two weeks post-op from getting my VSG with Dr. Noel Williams at Hospital of UPenn. While I encountered some small scheduling snafus with the office, overall I’ve had a very positive experience. I’m covered by Aetna and had to attend 3-4 medical weight management sessions with Dr. Williams and his team of nutritionists in Valley Forge. Dr. Williams met with me each and every time and always remembered personal details about my journey. Day-of surgery he met with my entire family and filled them in on the process and my recovery status. They loved him too! I did end up in the bariatric ward of HUP and had fabulous well-informed, attentive nurses who really helped me to get up and on my way to recovery ASAP.

Ultimately I decided to go with Penn because I had felt Einstein and Main Line Health felt a little too “advertise-y” for me. Like the surgeries were being pushed as a cure-all, but Penn, I felt, was a much more straightforward presentation. Also, Penn is such a renowned hospital, I felt that reputation did something to put my subconscious at ease.

Good luck with your decision and journey!!

I am using Dr. Richard Ing. My surgery is at Bryn Mawr Hospital on 12/19/17. I would love to some input on others that have used him.
