Biography

Dr. Craig Williams is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon with a subspecialty certification in hand surgery. He provides care for traumatic, degenerative, arthritic, and pediatric conditions of the elbow, forearm, wrist, and hand. Dr. Williams also treats compressive neuropathies and performs post-traumatic reconstruction. He provides advanced treatments, including arthroscopy of the wrist, the use of platelet rich plasma to treat tennis elbow and the use of the medication Xiaflex as a non-surgical alternative for treatment of Dupuytren’s disease.

Dr. Williams is a member of the American Society for Surgery of the Hand and the New Millennium Hand Study Group. He is a cyclist and plays hockey weekly.

Philosophy of Care

My practice philosophy is to evaluate each patient individually, and to understand their unique needs and concerns. I believe it is essential for me to educate my patients regarding their disease process, as well as the rationale behind available treatment options. Together with each patient I seek to establish a treatment plan which meets their specific needs.
