"I recall in 5th grade art class the assignment was to draw what we wanted to be when we were adults. Well, I drew myself in a white lab coat not knowing exactly what field of the sciences that I would pursue. I am glad I chose the visual health sciences! It's a great feeling to help restore a patients vision, treat various diseases with a vast number of medications, and use the latest technology to give the best experience and care to my patients. "

Dr. Williams always had an idea he wanted to be a doctor. In 5th grade during art class for career day, he drew himself in a white lab coat. That image was to come to fruition as he later chose the eye care field which he highly enjoys while giving a personal touch and care to each patient.
During college, Dr. Williams was a star defensive back on the Johns Hopkins football team. In his free time, he enjoys time with his wife, Juhi and 2 sons, Arjun and Aaryan. His hobbies include mountain biking, motorcycles and listening to music.
