Laura icceo@aol.comTestimonial for Dr. williams- feel free to use my full name. There are many medical professionals in my family: RN's, MD's, Surgeons and my brother-in-law is an OBGYN. Having access to these professionals has given me the unique opportunity to learn what to look for when choosing a Dr. Recently, I suffered a missed miscarriage. Meaning, I had all the symptoms of pregancy, including an embryotic sac; however, there was no baby growing inside me. My body had not yet resolved this issue on its own, and due to my emotional trauma, I was basically ignoring my medical condition. Because I had met Dr. Troy only once, I did not expect him to follow up with me. And here is where Dr. Williams sets himself apart from the rest. Many Dr.s would have just waited for me to reschedule, or assumed that I had miscarried at home. But not Dr. Troy. He called me personally to check-in with me and encourage me to come back to office. After I received this call and spoke with him on the phone, I knew that Dr. Troy really cares about his patients. And thank God he does, because it turned out that I needed a lot more emotional and medical attention than I was willing to admit at the time. Dr. Troy was sensitive to my emotional needs while explaining my options. Because of his extremely caring bedside manner, I was relaxed during our visit and felt confident when I made my decision to have a D & C. When I was pregnant with my first daughter, I felt more like a number than a patient, because I was rushed through all my appointments. Dr. Williams is very easy to talk to and he takes the time to address all my concerns. I cannot say enough good things about this Dr. He truly is amazing. Dr. Troy I would like you to know that I appreciate and am grateful for your superb medical care. Please do not hesitate to give out my number or use me as a reference for new patients.

My New Labia!

When I was diagnosed with vulvar Lichen Sclerosis 5 years ago, I began researching the condition on the internet and in gynecological textbooks. What I found was not very encouraging and some of it was downright scary!

Lichen Sclerosis et Atrophicus is an autoimmune condition of the vulva that is often closely associated with autoimmune thyroid disease, which I have been struggling with for many years. The tissue of the vulva thickens and tightens, much like scleroderma. Eventually, it obscures the clitoris, and can even block the urethra making it difficult or impossible to urinate normally. Sex became excruciating, and I often had a burning, painful sensation when sitting or walking.

With no effective medical treatment available and, frankly, not much interest from the medical or research community, I seemed to be facing a lifetime of increasing discomfort, pain and functional impairment….that is, until I met Dr. Troy Williams.

 

Dr. Williams or “Dr. Troy” as his patients affectionately call him, took one look at my condition and knew exactly what to do. In a detailed surgical procedure, under general anesthesia, Dr. Williams quite literally built me a brand new labia! Removing the distorted tissue damaged by Lichen Sclerosis, Dr. Williams carefully reconstructed the anatomy in normal alignment to restore full physiologic function. Throughout the whole process, he showed an exceptional sensitivity and reassuring gentleness that made what could have been an embarrassing and awkward problem very easy and comfortable to discuss.

Thanks to Dr. Williams’s surgical expertise and unique insights into female anatomy, I am now able to enjoy all of my activities, including sex with my husband, free from pain and discomfort. As a surgical nurse, I know a good surgeon when I see one, and Dr. Williams is top-notch. I recommend him as the first choice surgeon for any labial reconstructive or cosmetic procedure.
