Dr. Williams

Meet Teresa M. Williams, MD


I am a Mayo Clinic trained, board certified, internal medicine physician who is experienced in patient centered primary care. In addition to managing health problems from a holistic perspective, I am committed to personalized, quality patient care with a focus on health and wellness. I want my patients to have the ability to come to an office which is relaxed, welcoming and positive, where I can be fully focused on their health care needs. In my MDVIP-affiliated practice I will be available to my patients when they need me for as long as they need me. Together we will formulate a personalized long term health care plan with goals corresponding with their unique needs. I aspire to remain knowledgeable of cutting edge medicine and to being the best doctor I can be. I am committed to helping patients navigate the ever changing health care system and coordinating care with their specialists and hospitalists. 

I have partnered with MDVIP to give the people of Robertson County and the surrounding areas the opportunity to participate in a medical practice, which promotes the goals of the personalized, quality healthcare we all want. I am very excited about MDVIP’s approach which has the comprehensive Annual Wellness Exam and patient-physician relationship at its cornerstone. Similar to conveniences often associated with concierge medicine practices, I also offer same- or next-day appointments that start on time. We all realize the importance of a healthy body, mind and spirit and I think the journey to getting there can be challenging, fun and exciting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.

Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.

MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.

Dr. Williams is the kind of doctor most people don't even know exist. She takes as much time as is needed for each appointment and thoroughly explains all information and sets goals. She gives handouts and goes through them with me. She requires me to do blood work twice a year which previous doctors never did. She has called my pharmacy to discuss the cost of my prescriptions. She has also called several facilities to compare costs for CT scans and other tests. Dr. Williams is always going above and beyond the basic requirements of offering excellent medical service. She is truly amazing, so caring. I'm grateful she is my physician.

I have been in the medical field since 1995. In all these years, I can count on one hand, the number of physicians or providers who have ALL the qualities to be called a great physician. Dr. Williams is at the top of the list. She is brilliant, yet, unlike most gifted minds, she can come back down to the real world and apply her knowledge. That alone sets her apart. However, if you combine this Medical Expertise and Experience with her care and compassion, her wonderful bedside manner, her ability to “do the right thing”, even when no one is watching , her punctuality, her wonderful personality, her beauty (both inside and out), and her amazing office staff..... ...well, Need I say more. Dr. Williams is the example of what it takes to make a great doctor!!! “For taking the time to listen when others did not, for caring, and for giving me back my life, I thank you.”
Forever grateful.

I was admitted to the hospital in November 2019; a very sick lady.
Basically, I am an active, vibrant 85 year old and never really been a sickly person. However, after my hospitalization, I felt like Dr Williams was where I needed to be.
She has been a God send; she has helped me recover and feeling back to myself.
I am very happy with my choice and highly recommend Dr Williams and her staff.

Teressa Williams is an unethical provider who is out of touch with reality and has difficulty listening to her patients and their families/caregivers. She began caring for my mother in May 2021 while residing in NHC Springfield. Without proper diagnostic testing, she was prescribed the wrong medication and treatment for approximately a week leading to her being rushed to NorthCrest and her untimely death. Her gross neglect caused a condition that the ER attending physician and the hospitalist described as "irreversible." My mom's medical team at NorthCrest attempted to reverse the damage but sadly was unable to, and my mom was moved into hospice, where she passed away weeks later.
Theresa Williams visited my mom at NHC a few days before she was rushed to NorthCrest. My mom was lying in a bed, unresponsive, obviously sick. After leaving, Teressa Williams sent me a text message stating that she believed my mom had "years left with proper care." I had nurses, CNAs, and other medical staff that had worked with my mom acknowledge the drastic change in baseline, except for Teressa Williams.
I should have heeded the warning signs. My first was in conversations with this provider; she openly discussed her discontent with PAs and APRNs making the same earnings as her but with less schooling. My second warning came when my husband and I met with her during her office hours to discuss my mom's care. Teressa Williams was argumentative and would not allow my husband and me the ability to talk. It was challenging to ask questions, given she spoke over us and would not listen. We honestly did not understand what we had walked into and questioned if she had the right family. I would never have stood for someone speaking to us with such disregard, except that she was assigned to my mother's care.
In my humble opinion, Teressa Williams should not be a practicing provider. And please do not pay the extra fees associated with contracting her to care for you or your loved ones. If you have questions or want to discuss the above, do not hesitate to get in touch with me.

Dr. Teresa Williams is an excellent doctor. She is very thoughtful and methodical with her evaluation. She is willing to consider other therapies besides just prescribing more medications the mask the symptoms. She is careful not to over medicate my elderly mother but is willing to investigate find out what the underlying causes are to her health issues.

We could not be happier with the care, concern, and capabilities Dr Williams and her staff show us. Most recently she correctly interpreted signs my husband was exhibiting that led to the removal of a 95% blockage near one of his 3 bypasses and a small stent being put in. She didn’t hesitate to send us to ER at St Thomas where she had our cardiac team waiting. We love her😘

Will never go back. Waited total almost an hour and was supposed to be first patient seen. She didn't listen to what I had to say and kept rushing to get to her next patient. Also needs to work on her bedside manner. And she wouldn't address my medical questions. She may have been good at one time but I think she really needs to retire now.

Dr. Williams is the most knowledgeable and caring doctor I've ever seen. She won't hesitate to send you to a specialist if she feels it is necessary. The specialist she sent me to was very impressed with her knowledge and the medications she gave me before I saw him. She even saw, before I did, that there were medications I needed and she was absolutely right. Will definitely cry if she retires while my husband and I are still here.

Sadly I cannot recommend this provider to anyone. My experience with Dr. Williams was less than desirable.

My mother-in-law was a resident in an area nursing home and Dr. Williams was one of the providers in the facility. My wife and I hired Dr. Williams to manage her care. Shortly after hiring her, the nursing home made a mistake in caring for my mother-in-law. Dr. Williams met with us and her conversation with us was condescending and disrespectful to say the least. Dr. Williams took the side of the nursing home instead of considering the interests of the patient and the concerns of the family she was charged with caring for.

On a separate occasion, when my mother-in-law fell ill while in the nursing home, Dr. Williams refused to listen to our concerns and would not entertain our requests for treatments that had helped her for similar illnesses in the past. Dr. Williams initially refused to treat my mother-in-law and then prescribed the wrong treatment for her. Unfortunately, we did not discover this was the wrong treatment until my mother-in-law was rushed to the emergency room. We were told by the hospital that the damage had already been done and they would try to reverse it but were unsure if they would be able to. Unfortunately, they were not able to correct it and my mother-in-law passed a few weeks later. To exacerbate matters, we told Dr. Williams that her services were no longer needed after we became disgusted with the treatment she provided. After being informed she was no longer needed, Dr. Williams contacted the nursing home which resulted in my mother-in-law not being able to return to the facility for hospice care. This created another problem of trying to find a place for my mother-in-law to receive hospice care while the hospital was ready to discharge her. Not something a family should have to do when a loved one is near death. Especially after she made the mistake.

My experience with Dr. Williams had previously been very good, which was why I was so shocked at the treatment she provided us and my mother-in-law. During the brief time she cared for my mother-in-law, she was condescending, talked down to my wife and I, and refused to listen to any questions we had about her care. She was also unwilling to listen to any recommendations we provided on her care, even though we had been helping care for her and her condition for several years. She was very short with us and acted put-out at anything we said.

If you are looking for a provider for you or your loved one, I would look elsewhere. In my opinion, there is never an excuse for the treatment we received from Dr. Williams.
