https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTuqHlgi6qE "Don't delay - do it!"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYWWZZeO4W8 "I decided to have a facelift in order to reinvent myself... I wanted to do something for me. I've always thought I was an attractive person, but now I feel it on the outside."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zp80jvKu0_Q "What I liked about Dr. Williams is he's a specialist. He practices on faces - that's his speciality. That gave me great confidence and I'm very satisfied with everything. People around here are great and I think I made a really good choice."

https://youtu.be/CnOtBrZbnzQ?si=ucTmrmBB-5WcfLk1 "I chose to have my deep plane facelift surgery with Dr. Williams and I recommend him 100%. I was getting fillers and Botox, but they weren't giving me the results I was looking for, especially in the neck area. I noticed my face was starting to droop. I would take pictures and it would stand out even more. When I take a picture now, no filter needed."

https://youtu.be/d3E6N8xQ0Vo?si=kumXn4mQ3W1luz70 "I had 8 or 9 individual consults with different plastic surgeons from New York City to Boston. My last consult was with Dr. Williams...once I came here and met him and his staff, I left confident in my decision to have him do the surgery. I had a great post-operative recovery. I've been really happy with the results and I'm so happy I had the procedure."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?si=iKWij8R3EXh31Lz_&v=4tBgooDRm-o&feature=youtu.be "I did a lot of research and Dr. Williams kept coming up. Before the surgery, every time I passed by a mirror all I could see was this version of myself I didn't feel comfortable with... the process was a lot less painful than I thought it was going to be. Dr. Williams and his team have been amazing. Any time I had any questions or concerns I could pick up the phone and call. The improvements I noticed pretty quickly, once the swelling had gone down. It's worth it in every aspect - it's worth it, just do it! I would definitely recommend Dr. Williams and his staff to anyone out there."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?si=KF-w6g8ZptczuOW_&v=lAYygYTyw-w&feature=youtu.be "It's amazing to see how everything has changed since the surgery day. Overall I feel more confident. I questioned it for a long time, you know, 46, is that too young? Should I wait? But then I [thought], why wait?"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBAd07iujOM Dr. Williams is a true artist. Totally worth the trip from NYC. When I turned 60, I felt like everything was starting to sag, particularly my neck and jawline. I work out and keep my body fit, plus I’m young in spirit; my face simply didn’t match who I was anymore. I knew of The Williams Center from friends in my hometown of Albany, NY who’d used this practice and were very happy with their results. So, I decided to do a consultation with Dr. Williams. After speaking with him and looking at his before and after pics, despite being nervous about doing elective surgery I decided to entrust him with my face. I had a deep plane face and neck lift + upper and lower blepharoplasty (eyes) in September 2022 and I’m very happy. On average my friends think I look anywhere between 10 and 20 years younger. It feels great to look in the mirror and see the woman I knew I still was staring back at me. - C.S.

Dr. Slaughter was incredible. I came in for a scar removal on my lip about month ago and I am extremely happy with the results so far. Should I ever need a future procedure done, Dr. Slaughter will be the first doctor I see!! Thank you to him and his team for being so kind, funny, and attentive.

I wanted a more proportionate body. I was a size 12 on top and 6 on the bottom. With a DD cup size I appeared to be on the heavy side and only wore loose tops. I am now wearing dresses off the rack and feel wonderful about my new look. This change has provided me with the ability to wear all types of tops including strapless and halters. My posture has improved since I don't have the weight and strain on my shoulders and back that I lived with for many years. I receive compliments daily. Many think I have loss weight. That's one of the many benefits of breast reduction and lift. It's a life changing procedure. I only wished I had done this years ago.

My experience with Dr. Williams was fantastic! He's extremely thourough, professional and has a wonderful bedside manner. I've been bothered by the puffiness under my eyes and decided to have lower eyelid surgery. Dr. Williams was highly recommended and now I know why, I love my results! I don't have anyone telling me how tired I look, and my results are completely natural. I would highly recommend Dr. Williams, he's very talented and I loved the fact that he specializes in just the face. I can't thank Dr. Williams and his staff enough for making this a wonderful experience for me!

I was referred to Dr Williams by some of the staff at my dermatologist office who have had plastic surgery with him. I came in for a consult and felt at home. He is so genuine, and truly cared about what was best for me. Not to mention that he had years of experience doing only facial surgery! I knew I was in good hands and trusted him and his staff. I had a face and neck lift and my results are amazing, I'm so happy that I chose him as my surgeon, it's a big decision and I would recommend Dr. Williams to all who are considering.

Dr Williams and the staff put me at ease with my entire overall experience and surgery. Everything with the process was wonderful. I would highly suggest The Williams Center.

My experience was exceptional in every way. I have had both filler and BOTOX treatments with Dr. Pontius in the past and then circumstances ( going to FLA in the winter) lead me to go somewhere else for my last treatment. My results are consistently better and more natural with Dr. Pontius at The Williams Center / Rejuva Center. My husband says I look 15 years younger and to keep doing...

Dr. Slaughter and his staff were fabulous. He listened and advised my daughter regarding a procedure she needed done and he really put her mind at ease. The results were better than expected. Would highly recommend Dr. Slaughter!

I came to Dr. Williams with the complaint of looking tired. Since the procedure, no one has commented on my tired look. Thank you!

I feel this treatment had improved my overall look and has definitely made me look and feel younger and the best thing of all, it was a non-invasive surgery with very little down time. Pam, Clifton Park NY

I only wish I had done this years ago. My confidence and self esteem have zoomed since the surgery and I feel years younger. Dr. Williams and his staff are professional, personable and competent.

When I tell people about my experience, I refer to your office as staff extraordinaire. They are patient and professional, kind and compassionate. Please let them know how muck I appreciate them not only the terrific people up stairs, but the nurses in the surgery center, and the staff in the Rejuva center. All of you have helped me have a life-affirming experience, and by extension, my family also.

Dr. Williams is fantastic he is compassionate and under standing and he offered helpful advice. I was hesitant and slightly embarrasses when I went for my consultation. After talking with Dr. Williams I felt confident and comfortable with my decision, I couldn’t be happier with my result of my procedure and the care I received every step of the way!

I think Dr. Williams is an excellent Facial Plastic Surgeon. I have already referred many of my friends to him

From the first appointment to my most recent, I never regretted the choice I made for my surgery. Education was a priority for The Williams Center for Excellence along with optimal outcome. I am abosultely delighted with my results as is my husband. All in all this has been a life affirming experience. Callie, Watervliet

Words can not express the appreciation I feel in my heart for all you have done for me over then past year!! Much time, effort & coordination in planning was put into making (my surgery) such a wonderful day. I still can’t believe all of this!! God bless each of you.

I would like to thank you very much for your excellent work on my nose. My breathing is improving everyday. Certainly, my nose looks more straight than ever before. Your gentle, kind and skilled care will always be remembered.

Thank you for fixing my lip. It made me feel very very happy and the results are beautiful. You did a very good job along with your staff. You made me very pretty and people don’t pick on me anymore with your help. Thank you very much.

I would like to personally thank you for your kindness in covering 40% of my daughter’s procedure. What a blessed gift. We feel that she will be in the best care possible with you as her surgeon. We thank you for putting her well being and self confidence as a commitment of your office.

I am forever grateful for all that you and your wonderful staff have done for me! You have improved the quality of my life. Words can not begin to describe my appreciation! Our community is very fortunate to call you one of our own. The sacrifices that you continue to make are very much appreciated may god continue to bless you in all your work.

I’d like to take this opportunity to tell you I look and feel great and to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your skills, talents, expertise and unwavering encouragement that made this all possible. My self confidence and self esteem are soaring. The change is dramatic yet subtle exactly what I was hoping for. Most people see a difference but can’t figure out what it is- I think that’s great. You have helped me expand and enlighten my outlook on life, and I am so grateful to each and every one of you. I would be honored to recommend you and your wonderful staff to anyone contemplating a facelift procedure. It is wonderful to look and feel younger and even more energetic- thank you all form the bottom of my heart.

Dr. Williams and staff, Thank you so much for everything-2 times now you have helped me to feel better about my self. You are all wonderful. I’ll never forget this and will refer you to everyone.

I wanted to thank you for everything you have done for me. You not only made my appearance the best it could be you were also there for support, you have helped me in so many ways. I will always be grateful and I will always hold you dear in my heart. I don’t think I’ll ever find another doctor that cared as much as you. I will miss that.

Thank you for your wonderful care that you and your staff gave me. First of all, you are a wonderful person and surgeon and surgeon because you care about us women! Also you are very talented. I can not tell you how impressed I am to learn that you are so community minded to help battered women, Kudos to you! I wish more Doctors had your beliefs and bed side manner (and humor)! I feel good about myself when I look in the mirror I like what I see and have you to thank.

Just wanted to thank you and let you know how happy I am with the results. My sisters think you’re a master! It’s great to have the best nose in the family. P.S. Your staff was wonderful; they made me feel comfortable in a somewhat awkward situation.

I certainly appreciate the fine work Dr. Williams did on the face of my husband, but mainly appreciated his concern and interest in the whole patient. The bedside manner and friendliness of Dr. Williams (and staff) was outstanding!!! Thanks so much. P.S. Wish he could be our family Doctor.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for providing me such quality, professional care during my recent cosmetic procedure. You and your fine staff made me feel well informed, comfortable and important….all attributed which led to a successful recovery. I have nothing but the utmost respect for all of you – in my mind you have a practice comprised of skill, competence and most importantly patient empathy. Again thank you. I wish you all continued success and fulfillment.

I just wanted to drop you a note to say how impressed I was with everyone in your office following my surgery. As I told you before, you all deserve pats on the back ‘for a job well done’. My post -op went so smoothly, all questions answered, concerns addressed. Thank you again I would highly recommend you to anyone!

I am writing you this note to say thank you very much for helping me with my nose problems. At first I was nervous about being operated on, but you have helped ease my tensions. This is the first time I have walked out of a Doctors office without feeling totally confused or worse then when I walked in. It was really cool to see my face on the computer monitor. I am looking forward to my operation.

Thank you for restoring my faith in doctors.

Because hearing about your outstanding surgical skills preceded my meeting you, I had every confidence in your ability to correct my nose. However, equally as important, was the extremely gracious and caring way that you and your staff dealt with my fears and anxiety, which were greatly exaggerated as a result of a previous harrowing experience (by another physician).

I can’t express enough how happy I am with the results of my surgery. You’re caring and sensitivity provided much security and confidence. You’ve made a big difference in my life! (I’m always looking in the mirror)!! If a patient would ever like to talk about my procedure, I would be more than happy to help in any way I can.

Thank you all for your continued care and attention. Most of all, thanks for always making me feel like I mattered. You always seemed to put my mind to rest.

I feel very fortunate to have you for a doctor; you and the girls have been so kind and considerate. You’re turning me into a new person. Thanks again.

I just don’t know any other way to say your expertise is greatly appreciated than ‘Thank You’. The results of your many talents as a plastic surgeon have made me very happy. I feel much better about myself. You made the whole experience very comfortable and quite easy. I have the utmost confidence in you. Thank you for all your kindness.

Dear Mary Ann, Enclosed is the survey you mailed out in March. I am truly sorry it has taken so long to return. When I was watching the videos, while waiting to see Dr. Williams last week, I realized how warm and caring Dr. Williams is. He has helped so many people either with cosmetic procedures or surgeries but most of all the children who needed some kind of reconstructive surgery. That is what prompted me to come here and fill the survey out. Honestly, this survey didn’t even come close in giving credit to this fabulous facility. The comfort you provide people is beautiful and warm. The consultation is accurate with both the nurse and Dr. Williams both agreeing on what procedure will benefit you the most. Having the operating room there is the best part because no one likes to come out of the hospital for a cosmetic procedure. Having the Center (Williams Rejuva Center) downstairs is so great, knowing Dr. Williams is part of that and having skin care products there is all so convenient. I am sop pleased I discovered the Williams Center for Excellence. You certainly live up to your name. BT Albany NY

When I was 15 years old, I was depressed and embarrassed by the size of my nose. I begged my mother daily to allow me to have a Rhinoplasty. My mother would give me permission for a Rhinoplasty if I researched the surgery, prices and found a doctor. I hand wrote letters to all the doctors in the area. Of all the tons of letters I wrote, only one relied - Dr. Williams. He treated me with respect and warmth regardless of my age. Dr. Williams performed the surgery and I’ve never been happier. It’s now eleven years later and I’ve referred many people that were all happy with the results. I work as a healthcare practitioner along side many doctors and Dr. Williams remains the most compassionate professional doctor I’ve met.

Every morning when I looked at myself in the mirror, it looked as though I had absolutely no sleep at all. The bags under my eyes were horrible and have bothered me for more years than I can remember. Time after time I was hearing from others that I looked tired so I finally made a decision to take care of it. I scheduled an upper and lower blepharoplasty and what a difference it made. Now I feel better about my appearance and have not had any “you look tired” comments since. The procedure was quick and easy with just a short healing time. I am so glad I did this procedure and couldn’t be happier with the work of Dr. Williams and his staff at the Williams Center.

As an esthetician, I am pleased with what my good skin care has accomplished for me and my clients. However, skin care is just that, and won’t reverse the toll of age on fat and muscle placement. Profile photos of me revealed that I looked older than my years. After a consultation with Dr. Edwin William’s and his talented staff, I decided to have the “Weekend” neck lift. It would address my neck and lower jawline area. My experience was excellent. The surgery was performed early in the morning, and I was home by lunch time and quite comfortable. I did exactly what I was instructed to do, experienced very little discomfort and in two weeks was back to work. Most people thought I had a wonderful vacation and remarked I looked rested. It’s been a couple of months since my procedure, and the compliments keep coming! We deserve to be happy and anything we can do to look and feel our best adds to our quality of life. Thank you so much Dr. Williams!

It is three months today since Dr Williams performed a blepharoplasty and mid-face fat fat transfer for me, and I am very pleased with the results. I look younger and rested in a natural way. There was a slightly swollen appearance for about two months, as I was advised there would be, but I easily camouflaged that by wearing glasses. Now at the three month mark, every day seems to bring better results. I am very happy with the outcome and would highly recommend Dr Williams and his helpful staff.

This procedure was very easy and it’s only been 3 months since it was done! When my arms are in a normal position the incision lines are not visible at all. I can wear short sleeves now without feeling self conscious. I am so happy with the results. Thank you Dr. Polynice ML.

Dr. Polynice, I do not know how to say thank you or how to tell you that you changes my life. I am unsure how to really put my feelings into words. When I met you 1 year ago on my birthday 07-07-2015 I knew I had finally met my surgeon. Your entire team; everyone was so kind and professional but Dr. Polynice you… you have a soul that fills the room. You are confident, kind, talented, sincere. You take your time with each individual person as if they are your only patient. Dr.Polynice you changed me, not just my physical appearance with my tummy tuck, leg & arm lift but at a time in my life when I was emotionally struggling with the sudden loss of my mother, followed shortly after with the passing of my granny. You gave me comfort for the very first time ever in my life, in my own skin. You gave me confidence & pride. You shared your amazing qualities with me and I cannot thank you enough! I cannot thank your entire staff enough. Dr. Polynice, from the bottom of my heart & soul, thank you!

The only Dr. I would allow to work on my face is Dr.Edwin Williams. Truly, he is a genius at his profession and he is an authentic, compassionate person. I KNEW that I was in the best hands there were. Dr. Williams staff is “top notch” . They are perfect in each of their roles. I felt safe, secure, and confident with each of them. I am 66 yrs young and had a full face lift. I sit here today appx. five weeks post surgery and I feel completely healed. I could not be more pleased with my results. Although it takes some courage to pursue this surgery, it was made MUCH easier because of my total trust in Dr Williams. I do and will continue to recommend others to Dr. Williams and only Dr. Williams. I am very grateful!!!

Dr. Williams is a master of his craft, certainly the most compassionate surgeon I have met during this journey.

I had a rhinoplasty done 16 years ago by another surgeon and was never truly happy with the results. I looked a lot better than I had before, but I was still self conscious. One day I saw a profile photo of myself at a wedding and realized it was time to look into a revision. I met with Dr. Williams because I had heard he was a great surgeon and years earlier, he helped my sister after a serious car accident and she looks amazing! I was hesitant of course because I didn't look that bad, but I wanted a change. Dr. Williams was very patient and honest. He met with me 3 times and took his time explaining what was realistic and what he would recommend and listened to what I wanted too. What really put my mind at ease was their imaging program that takes your photo and then shows you what you will look like after surgery! It's not a guarantee mind you but it definitely helps give you an idea. As for the results, I am very pleased. I was afraid I wouldn't look like myself, but I do, just better. Plus, my results really do look very similar to the imaging program picture, it's amazing. I think what sets Dr. Williams apart is that he pays attention to detail, and for my case, made minor changes that really made a difference.

From the start, I felt very comfortable and welcome to the facility. The staff is very receptive and accommodating. I’ve never had issues with scheduling and everything is communicated very effectively.
