About the Practice
Dr. Williams has always wanted to start her own practice. She has begun this adventure in 2018, as a way to find more satisfaction in the modern healthcare world, for both herself and her patients. Many large medical practices make patients feel like they are just a number and people feel lost in the system. In response to this consistent feedback from her patients, Dr. Williams decided to open a clinic in Big Rapids (her home town). She was greatly influenced by her mentor, Dr. William F. Dubois, II and his compassionate care approach to the patients he served for many years in the Big Rapids and Stanwood, MI communities.
Dr. Williams believes in offering patients choices in healthcare and involving the patient in their own health care plans. She sees patients from birth to geriatrics.
