About John L. Williams, MD

Dr. John Williams is a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon with over 20 years of private practice experience in Scottsdale, AZ. He specializes in cosmetic surgery of the breasts, body and face as well as performing multiple non-surgical treatments to rejuvenate the face and body. Dr. Williams has earned a reputation as a highly skilled, meticulous surgeon with an artistic vision and a keen eye for aesthetic balance. He is also known for his kind and compassionate bedside manner and his warm and welcoming office. Dr. Williams personally sees every patient during every visit to his office, from the initial consultation to the final post-op check to make sure that every patient is properly cared for. He also performs every injectable procedure done in his office. As one of the premier plastic surgeons in Scottsdale, he has earned the trust of patients from all walks of life and age range including local celebrities, professional and Olympic athletes, physicians and their families, even other plastic surgeons. He maintains full medical privileges at the HonorHealth Hospital System, and performs surgery at outpatient surgery centers throughout Scottsdale. Dr. Williams earned the distinction of being Board Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and is a long standing member of the prestigious American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the Arizona Society of Plastic Surgeons. Upon completion of his training, he began his surgical career with a focus on treating patients with a wide range of plastic surgical needs including those requiring reconstruction following cancer, burns, and traumatic injuries. The complex, intricate nature of these procedures honed the surgical skills of this self-described “detail-oriented perfectionist.” However, he soon realized that his true passion involved the intricate, yet artistic, nature of cosmetic surgery. Over the last 15 years he has focused his entire practice on cosmetic surgery of the breast, body and face. He is well known for producing beautiful, natural looking results that are sought after by patients not only in Arizona but throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico. Dr. Williams earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology in 1984 from Austin College in Sherman, TX. Four years later he earned his Doctor of Medicine degree from Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Medicine. He then completed a residency in General Surgery at St. Joseph Hospital in Houston, TX followed by a fellowship in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery under the leadership of world renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Ian Jackson. Dr. Williams’ achievements in plastic surgery have been recognized by local and national professional medical associations and media outlets. He was featured locally on Fox TV News and in the Arizona Republic Newspaper. His awards include being named “Top Doc” multiple times by Phoenix Magazine, as well as being featured on the cover of that issue in 2011. He was named one of America's Top Plastic Surgeons by the Consumer’s Research Council of America for the past 9 years, reviewed and elected by his peers as one of the Best Doctors in America, earned a Patients Choice Award by Vitals.com for 7 consecutive years, and profiled by the national publication, New Beauty Magazine. He was also recently chosen as one of the ""Most Influential Phoenicians"" in their inaugural poll by Arizona Foothills Magazine.
