Dr. Emily Williams

age: 31 | OB/GYN Physician | Collom & Carney Clinic

As an obstetrician and gynecologist, Dr. Emily Williams’ duties are numerous. From preventative care clinic visits, to treating gynecologic problems, taking care of pregnant women during their pregnancy and deliveries, and performing in-office and OR procedures, Emily gets to make a difference in the lives of women of all ages, and she loves having the opportunity to serve other women.

While she didn’t really have to do much to “accomplish” her greatest personal achievement, Emily says that being an aunt is truly something she loves. She explains, “I was only 16 when my first niece was born.. Now, I have 14 nieces and nephews spanning from 9 months to 15 years old – and another on the way! I am known as ‘Emmy’ to them and adore every single one of them. And nothing makes me smile as much as when someone says one of them resembles me!”

Another fete that is a great accomplishment for Emily was being able to deliver three of her nieces and one nephew. With one of the deliveries,

Emily was even able to announce the baby’s gender at delivery since the parents didn’t find out beforehand. “I get to be the first person to hold so many babies when they take their first breath, but when it was my own nieces and nephew... it was truly the greatest feeling,” she acknowledges. “My siblings are my very best friends so getting the chance to take care of my sisters and help coach them through their pregnancies and deliveries was really special. I’m ‘the baby’ of the family so it was nice to get to actually take care of them and help them like they always did for me growing up. I feel blessed they let me be a part of such a big day in their lives.”

Married to Ben, Emily admits that 10 years ago, she had zero interest in having a medical career. However, she quickly learned that when she tries to make plans, “God flips them upside down” and has other plans for her. Whatever the future holds for Emily, she knows that it will be what God has planned for her ... and she won’t be able to deviate from it, even if she tries.

Name something about you that very few people know:

“I am obsessed with television game shows. I’ll watch any of them from ‘Family Feud’ to the ‘Newlywed Game’ to old school ‘Supermarket Sweep.’ ‘The Price is Right’ is hands- down my favorite. In college, I would sometimes skip class to watch it. I haven’t ever been to Los Angeles, but whenever we eventually go, you better believe I will be trying my hardest to ‘Come on down’ to be on ‘The Price is Right'"
