Best Surgeon in East TN

I have the best surgeon in East Tennessee - he's in Knoxville. His name is Dr. Keary R Williams with New Life Bariatric. They're located in West Knoxville, in the Parkwest Tower across from Park West Hospital. He performs surgery at both Park West and Tennova West.
He is the surgeon who is contacted for the more complicated surgeries. He performs the Sleeve, RNY, and BPD/DS. He also fixes anything he might find while he's there. I had a hernia and a spot on my small intestine that could have turned cancerous in the future; he fixed both. A friend of mine had a large cyst on an ovary - he fixed it.
His staff is wonderful, as well.
