About

Dr. Williams was born and raised in Denver, Colorado where he graduated summa cum laude from the University of Denver. He then completed both medical school and anesthesiology residency at the University of Colorado prior to completing an interventional pain medicine fellowship at the University of Utah.

Philosophy of Care

Patient-driven care is my priority. I'm proud to offer numerous interventional treatment options that best align with each patient's goals and lifestyle. Given the complex nature of pain, I strive to offer the broadest and most advanced therapies that best address the etiology of a patient's pain while improving function and quality-of-life. I am particularly passionate about optimizing treatment for vertebral compression fractures and vertebral augmentation.

In the Media

Your back pain may be caused by something more serious that simply 'overdoing' it in the yard or the gym. Dr. Williams explores what those symptoms may be from, and how they can be treated with the new, innovative MILD procedure.

What is Kyphoplasty, and how does to help those who suffer from Osteoporosis? Dr. Williams explains this innovative treatment method in a blog article here.

Dr. Williams blogs about an innovative medicine that helps those suffering from Diabetes get relief from nerve pain.

Dr Williams has a warm personality. He obviously knows what he is doing and does it well.

08/27/2024

They are very busy and appointments are hard to by; need more help!

08/21/2024

Takes too. long to get an appointment

08/20/2024

Overall I feel that the staff and Dr. are very capable of what they do. The problem I have with St. Al;s is the length of time it takes to get an appointment . This time I had to wait 9 weeks for an appointment and I can assuew you the pain continues all that time.

08/13/2024

He listened to me.

Great

06/26/2024

With the clinic: I had a referral from Saint Al's Urgent Care back in [date] that I never received a call to schedule an appointment. My primary physician (Dr Karlsberg) sent in another referral, at my request, which took a considerable amount of time (imo, of course) to receive a call back. I called the facility and only then was it explained to me that I had to be deemed a potential patient prior to them reaching out to me, which was information I was not aware of. Had I known that I had to be a candidate first, my expectations would have been different. As it was, I was frustrated and ready to go back to Saint Lukes Spine Clinic, only because I hadn't received any acknowledgement from the Saint Al's clinic. I called at my wife's insistence, she wasn't going to let it go easily. At which point, it was explained.

06/19/2024

I was thoroughly pleased with Dr. Williams. Very impressed.

06/18/2024

Dr Williams was concerned about my safety due to my safety during the procedure

04/02/2024

Being closed on Friday makes it difficult to communicate with you. I have not received responses to atleast 2 questions i have asked since the procedure.I still need clalrification on the details of what Dr. Williams did. I know he numbed 6 nerves, but then need to know what medication or whatever he did to these nerves after it was numb and what the purpose was?

Dr. Williams and his staff are most caring and listen well

12/04/2023

I felt comfortable

11/29/2023

He did not ask me how I had been since last visit, he did not ask me how I was today, he did not tell me when to return for follow up.

11/29/2023

I would highly recommend anyone to your office

11/09/2023

Nothing

Excellent

10/13/2023

I am as treated with great respect.

10/13/2023

Dr. Williams was as thorough as could be, listened carefully, & was warm & friendly.

10/10/2023

Nurse was on time, friendly, and thorough. Doctor was late and I sat for a good 45 minutes after the nurse finished before I saw him. Seemed like a nice fellow. But too soon to evaluate the level of care.

10/09/2023

Dr. Williams listens to my concerns. He lays out the options, we discuss them and then make best decisions for me.

10/02/2023

Happy with how caring and understanding Dr Williams was.

09/30/2023

Dr. Williams is a truly wonderful doctor. He was very sincere, compassionate, professional, understanding, and knowledgeable. He spent time explaining my back issues and a treatment program. I never felt rushed. One of the best doctors I've ever met.

09/29/2023

Doa Williams was pleasant, friendly and professional. He didn't talk down to me , he accessed my problem and then educated my son and I as to the reason for my problems and then how he could treat me.

09/26/2023

I'm hopeful for the first time in years that my back issues can be adequately addressed.

09/16/2023

I have had three procedures with this doctor. The first two were minimally intrusive needles in my back for chronic back pain. The last one was intended as the first of two exploratory procedures, followed by another procedure. During the last procedure, I was told to lie face down on a gurney and had a cool substance put on my back by an assistant. Next, a needle was pushed into the area of my back from which my back pain originates. The needle caused extreme pain, most likely by hitting nerves. This was repeated four times with the same effect. When I got up, I was sweating profusely from suppressing screams of pain. I turned to one of the assistants and said, "I can't believe you did this without numbing the area first. This was brutally painful." The individual responded calmly, "You should have said something." This was a ridiculous response, considering the position I was in. My guess is that the substance on my back was intended to numb the area somewhat, but was not nearly addressing the pain when the needle most likely hit nerves. Since I was lying face down, I'm unable to say if the doctor or his assistant practiced their art of injecting needles. I have canceled all future appointments with this doctor.

09/13/2023

We were late for check in but early for appointment. We were told that since we were late, our appointment would be delayed. Most Dr. Offices honor the appointment time, not the check in time..

12/30/2022

serious problems with insurance company filling

12/28/2022

Dr. Williams was the most comprehensive Dr. I have seen. It just took too long to get in to see him and the lead time for a procedure is too long. I have had this problem for several months and related problems for over a year.

05/19/2022

My husband has [condition]. This dr. may not have much experience with this as he was insensitive to my husband. He speaks way to loudly and doesn't connect with my husband. My husband was a nervous wreck when we left & we DREAD the next appointment.
