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 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.
