Dr. Williams is a board-certified ophthalmologist with fellowship training in Ophthalmic and Facial Plastic Surgery. As an Oculoplastic Surgeon, she specializes in the evaluation and treatment of problems of the eyelid, eye socket, and tear duct that are a result of aging, trauma, and tumors. In her busy surgical practice, she exclusively performs reconstructive and aesthetic surgery on the eyelids and surrounding tissue. Dr. Williams is a native of Chicago and grew up in Hyde Park. She completed her undergraduate education at Spelman College and then returned to the Chicago area, where she received her medical degree from Chicago Medical School.

Dr. Williams completed her residency in ophthalmology at SUNY Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn, NY. Pursuing an affinity for plastic and reconstructive surgery she completed a fellowship at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in Oculoplastic and Orbital Surgery.

Currently in private practice at Rush University Medical Center, Dr. Williams works very closely with other physicians to provide optimal care for patients. Medical conditions in and around the eye often affect nearby structures. As a result, the best treatment for these conditions requires a team-based approach.
