I would never see any other doctor.
Dr. Carl Williams was born in Gary Indiana and has been practicing medicine in Las Vegas for over thirty years and has made it a priority to make care, understanding, and validation the heart of his practice. He received his Medical Doctorate at the Indiana University School of Medicine and completed residencies and fellowships at Wayne State in Detroit, the University of Illinois, Chicago and Rush Presbyterian. He served an additional residency in plastic and reconstructive surgery at the University of Illinois School of Medicine, followed by a fellowship in hand and microvascular surgery at Rush Presbyterian St. Luke’s Medical Center. Dr. Williams is a skilled hand surgeon with his own private practice – Carl N. Williams, Jr. M.D. Hand and Plastic Surgery – in Las Vegas, Nevada. He was the first African American Plastic Surgery Resident in Chicago and the first African American Plastic Surgeon in the state of Nevada. He brought the first laser center to Las Vegas and introduced a multitude of lasers and their functionality to this area.
Dr. Carl Williams is triple board certified in plastic surgery, surgery of the hand and otolaryngology. He has served on the board of directors of many different hospitals as both a leader of surgery and advanced wound healing. He was a member of the plastic surgery faculty for two years in Chicago at the University of Illinois and continues to pass on his knowledge today by continuing as a clinical educator for both the UNLV School of Medicine and Touro University.
Dr. Williams holds active memberships in many professional organizations including the AMA, ASPS, ASSH, and ASA. He is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons and has volunteered for many medical missions to Mexico, Guatemala, Samoa, Costa Rica, and the Philippines. He also participated in a medical exchange with China and Russia. Dr. Williams participated in a community outreach program that removed gang tattoos to give Las Vegas youth a chance to get out of that lifestyle. He has also contributed, as a reconstructive plastic surgeon, much needed assistance to victims of domestic violence. Dr. Williams also established the hand surgery department at UMC hospital and continues to take hand trauma call for four Las Vegas hospitals today.
Dr. Williams has observed that too many surgical facilities and cosmetic centers lack the ability to personalize the patient experience and build meaningful relationships with individuals. Rather than generalizing your treatment, Dr. Williams feels that establishing trust and understanding your unique traits help him customize your treatment plan and personalize the procedures for your care.
Early in his career, Dr. Williams began to expand his expertise and work in diverse fields to learn more about the characteristics of plastic and reconstructive surgery. He has served as the chief of surgery at North Vista Hospital, the chief of plastic surgery at the University Medical Center in Las Vegas and Mountain View Hospital, and has been on the medical executive committee at Valley Hospital. These leadership roles have helped him tailor his treatment setting to each patient’s needs and develop specific regimens for each procedure.
Dr. Williams currently serves as an associate professor at the Nevada School of Medicine and the Toro School of Medicine, sharing his treatment philosophy and emphasizing the importance of personalized patient experiences.
Additionally, Dr. Williams holds three board certifications with the American Board of Plastic Surgery, the American Board of Plastic Surgery with an emphasis in hand surgery, and the American Board of Otolaryngology.

Excellent orthopedic surgeon
Great patient experience with Dr. Williams
very nice and informative
Thank you Dr Williams for your kindness and reassurance. Im feeling better than ever to trust the process. Kevin, YOU ROCK! Always a pleasure seeing you!!
I loved Dr. Williams and his staff, specifically Kevin Everyone was friendly and professional. Kevin and Dr. Williams took time with me, did not make me feel rushed. I felt like I mattered and was heard. Great experience and I highly recommend.
First time visit with Dr Carl Williams. Staff are very friendly and the service was quick. I’m hopeful I can do my surgery in the next few weeks due to the discomfort. Thank you, Dr Carl Williams!
First off, Kevin was very thorough in going over all my records and preparing me to see Dr. Williams. Dr. Williams was very thorough as well and made me feel at ease and prepared my next steps to help me. I was very grateful and hope to have annswers and some resolutions after I do all my testing. Thank you, Dr. Williams and your staff.
The Doctor and staff were very nice and professional. We are doing more imaging to move forward. Thank you
Probably the most disorganized surgery office I've ever visited. First and foremost, I would recommend hiring employees who genuinely want to work in patient care. I understand healthcare can be stressful, but from my very first interaction, it was apparent that the staff seemed uninterested in helping patients. I was referred to this office for a broken finger. My initial consultation was a complete mess. My appointment was scheduled for 9:30 AM, yet no one informed me when booking that I was expected to arrive at 9:00 AM to complete paperwork.What's even more frustrating is that I had already completed the paperwork through their Athena system the night before. I've never had a medical office require patients to arrive 30 minutes early for paperwork that was supposedly completed online. When I checked in for my 9:30 appointment, I was told I was late because I hadn't arrived at 9:00 AM, despite that expectation never being communicated to me. So they told me return at 1pm and yet I wasn't seen until 2:45. Because of the concern over how payment was going to be covered, I ultimately decided to cancel and find a surgeon who seemed more concerned about treatment than how they would get paid. I was not looking for free services. A simple email or phone call explaining the next best steps would have been greatly appreciated instead of being told, "Sorry, we can't schedule your surgery because we can't verify your insurance." The issues continued when I attempted to schedule surgery. I had recently changed insurance providers, but my insurance was already active. I provided all the necessary information so the office could verify my coverage. However, because they were unable to verify it on their end, I was told that I would need to wait until my physical insurance card arrived in the mail before scheduling surgery. This was incredibly concerning. I had already been dealing with a broken finger for two weeks, yet the advice I received was essentially to "wait" for an insurance card to arrive rather than receive guidance on how to move forward with treatment. Being told to delay care for a potentially time-sensitive injury because of an administrative issue is unacceptable. I requested to speak with the doctor for advice regarding my situation and what I should do in the meantime. I was told the doctor was unavailable because he was "always in surgery." However, this conversation took place on a Tuesday, and I had previously been informed that surgeries are typically scheduled on Mondays and Fridays. Whether the information I received was inaccurate or the staff simply chose not to relay my concerns, no effort appeared to be made to help me communicate with the physician. Instead, I was told I would need to come back into the office to speak with the doctor in person and pay approximately $200 out of pocket since they could not verify my insurance. This seemed unnecessary, especially when a brief phone call or email could have provided guidance. I was seen already for my consultation so the MD was aware of my situation. Overall, my experience left me feeling that administrative processes and collecting payments were prioritized over patient care. Patients seeking treatment, especially for an injury requiring timely intervention, deserve clear communication, competent administrative support, and staff who are willing to help navigate issues rather than create additional barriers. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this office.
Excellent doctor to care for your needs if you have issues with your hands. A miracle doctor!
EXVELLENT SERVICE

Dr. Carl Williams jr. He had me do many test to determine the extent of damage to my hands and wrist. He found damage to my wrist, will be fixing another doctors mistake. He will also be fixing a issues in both arms at the elbows. He is professional, kind and very very knowledgeable. He will operate on the other arm 4 weeks after first surgery. I would never see any other doctor.
Only wish a more detailed explanation of physical therapy would have been given by Vincent. I would like physical therapy after x-rays and neurology visit. I have brace that I wear night and day. 2nd brace so I can wash one by hand and still wear a brace 24/7. Thank you for all your help. Shari Pitterman
