JEREMY Z. WILLIAMS, M.D.

Jeremy Williams, MD is a Denver area board certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon.

He believes that whether you are seeking aesthetic rejuvenation or reconstructive restoration, that enhancement of your image should be natural and above all, safe. Dr. Williams utilizes the latest technology and innovations in plastic surgery in an effort to ensure your optimal aesthetic outcome. He, along with the entire staff at Park Meadows Cosmetic Surgery, is committed to providing you with an experience that stands apart, from your initial consultation to your full post-operative recovery.

Dr. Williams received his medical degree from The University of Texas Medical School, where he graduated in the top of his class with honors. He then spent the next seven years training in plastic, maxillofacial, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery at the prestigious Johns Hopkins Hospital (Ranked by US NEWS AND WORLD REPORT as Americas #1 hospital for over 20 years). Interested in new innovations in plastic surgery Dr. Williams dedicated a full year of his training to plastic surgical research. He has published articles and authored book chapters on plastic surgery of the face and body. He has presented his work at numerous national and international scientific conferences.

In addition to maintaining an active interest in various areas of reconstructive surgery, (breast, traumatic facial injuries, hand, microsurgery, and cancer reconstruction) he has specific surgical interest in aesthetic facial surgery as well as cosmetic surgery of the breast and body. Recognizing that discussing cosmetic surgery may be difficult for some patients, he prides himself in a professional bedside manner that is centered around trust and providing care with the dignity and respect you deserve.

Using state-of-the-art techniques, both Dr. Jeremy Williams and Dr. Chris Williams have advanced training in microsurgical breast reconstruction (DIEP Flap). This superior method of breast reconstruction allows the surgeon to use the patient’s own body tissue without the need for implants or sacrifice of muscles in the abdomen. In a DIEP Flap, breast size can be reconstructed and restored to a natural contour. Having two plastic surgeons within one practice performing this state-of-the-art procedure is unique to this area and allows for optimal care and support.

He is the devoted father of three children Kendall, Evan, and Carson and enjoys numerous activities with his wife Kimberly. They enjoy skiing, mountain biking, traveling, and the fine arts. He shares a deep interest with Dr. Robinson in medical mission work and providing compassion and free surgical care to the children of developing countries.
