Success Stories

Have you ever worked with someone who you felt certain was doing exactly what they were called to do? That is my experience of Dr. Basima Williams. With each interaction, I felt cared for and very understood. There were aspects of my health where she applauded me and I could rest in what I was doing to promote my well-being. At times, Dr. Williams challenged to me to increase my participation and commitment to my own well-being with changes in my health habits. Whether maintenance or change was warranted, Basima partnered with me from a place of mutuality – we were working together. Four years later, I am thriving and very, very grateful for her care. 

I am so lucky to have Dr. Basima Williams in my life. About 20 years ago, I had severe back pain. I went to the ER twice and they told me I had a urinary track infection and gave me pain killers and antibiotics. I followed up with Dr. Williams because I was not getting better and had really bad pain. After talking with me and examining me, Dr. Williams knew it was much more then a infection. She sent me to the hospital and had a couple of tests done, after which I found out that I had huge kidney stones. She called one of the best urologists in San Diego and got me in to see him quickly. Until I saw Dr. Williams, I felt like other doctors just wanted to prescribe me something new just to get me out of the office. It was not until I met Dr. Williams that I actually felt that someone was listening to me. It has been 20 years later and I still cannot say enough great things about her! I am forever grateful.

Dr. Basima Williams is an abosolute Godsend! I ran into Dr. Basima happenstance during a business meeting. I had been suffering from a rash for years [but] after talking with her and learning more about functional medicine, I knew I had to see her as my doctor. After an initial consultation and exhaustive intake, she determined that [my] skin problem [was] caused by a gut issue called leaky gut. She worked on my diet, gave me 4 supplements and in just a couple of weeks, the rash was almost gone. Now, months later, the rash is still gone. The difference in this type of medicine and care is night and day. I had gone years with this rash, went to multiple doctors, including my own sister, and all I ever got was a cream prescription. Now, I understand about treating the cause of the problem and not just the problem. What regular doctors couldn’t figure out in a decade, she figured out in one session and provided a real solution to fix it and not just mask the problem. She’s a life saver and I can’t recommend her enough!

Dr. Williams is a longtime colleague of mine. I have referred many patients to her including complex thyroid cases, gut healing issues, unexplained bloating, women who want hormone replacement therapy, and patients with a long history of unanswered issues that are ready to tackle a root cause. I have great confidence in her work and she is very empathetic. She is always digging in and looking for answers to any problem. She is an excellent diagnostician, functionally trained and very conscience and supportive of the patient she sees.

Patients feel better. That is the bottom line.

Most importantly, I can’t imagine I’ll ever say it enough. Thank you for listening, for calming my fears, for investing in me, for finding answers, for educating me, especially for your kindness and character and sense of humor. For helping me save my life. Just everything

I have really enjoyed working with you, Dr. Williams. Your biggest strength is your ability to teach and you have taught me a lot over the years of working together both in dealing with any immediate concerns and in how to prevent illness. You certainly earned my trust. 

Just wanted to let you know that I already started on with my smoothie this morning and I can't even begin to tell you what a life-changing suggestion that was. It's such a simple thing and I can't believe I didn't think of it before. Thank you so much. It has given me renewed motivation to move forward!

I've been faithful on the Gut Protocol for one week now, and I already feel SO much better! I have slept solid the past three nights, with no coughing, wheezing, or waking up at all!! This is such a major win for me already and I know it'll continue to improve! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
