About Dr. Kristen Williams, MD
Aesthetic Director
We are excited to introduce our newest practitioner, Dr. Williams to our practice. She sees patients on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays in our Lutz location and Tuesdays in our St Petersburg location for medical weight loss, hormone balancing and aesthetic services, including Botox, MINT Thread Lifts, Sculptra and our newest procedure, Plasma Pen Skin Tightening. She graduated medical school in 2010 from Florida State University, but her interest in anti-aging medicine was seeded a long time before that. After her undergraduate studies, Dr. William did her thesis on obesity for her Master's in Public Health. After she finished her medical degree, she completed a residency program in 2014 at the University of Florida Shands Hospital in Jacksonville, FL. She approaches medicine from a patient-centric prospective and some of the qualities patients appreciate most about her is her compassion, encouragement and listening skills. Since 2014, Dr. Williams has focused more on anti-aging medicine, receiving certifications in aesthetic medicine, including Botox, Sculptra, MINT Thread Lifts and most recently, the Nonsurgical Lip Lift (NLL) in 2021. Outside of medicine, Dr. Williams is a big football fan and enjoys spending time with family.
