Medical Assistant with Front Office coverage

Dr. Williams has always wanted to start her own practice. She began 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 clinics in Grand Rapids (where she currently lives) and Big Rapids (her hometown).

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.
