Comprehensive ENT care close to home
“This is going to be the hardest
class you’re going to take in
medical school.” Dr. Wayne
Williams was sitting in a head and neck
anatomy class during his first year of
medical school when his professor
broadcast the warning. “At that point,”
said Dr. Williams, “I saw it as a challenge,
and I have loved it since.”
Dr. Williams has been performing
procedures at Meadows Health Ear,
Nose and Throat, formerly Vidalia ENT
Associates, for the past twelve years.
He and the other specialists in his
practice are all board-certified and
have performed literally thousands of
successful treatments and surgeries.
Training to be a surgeon is a unique
aspect of the learning process for ENT
doctors. Surgery is one area of his career
that Dr. Williams particularly enjoys. “One
surgery may be working on an eardrum
that’s the size of an eraser, and my next
surgery may be taking out a mass that’s
the size of a lemon. It’s an extremely
diverse specialty and that’s what I love
about it,” said Dr. Williams.
After graduating from the Medical
College of Virginia, Dr. Williams
completed his residency at the University
of Texas before becoming a flight surgeon
in the U.S. Air Force and directing the ENT
program for Sheppard Air Force Base.
He then practiced in his hometown of
Danville, Virginia, where he was also the
town’s mayor.
In 2011, Dr. Williams became one
of only 4% of ENT doctors in the nation
who is also certified in Sleep Medicine.
Meadows Health ENT is one of only three
ENT practices in the state of Georgia
to be recognized as a “Sinus Center of
Excellence.”
As new ideas and technology
continue to develop, Dr. Williams will
certainly be on the forefront. One of the
most beneficial aspects of having him as
a part of our medical community is his
relentless hunger to learn. “I really thrive
on new ideas and new information,” said
Dr. Williams.
He and his wife Cindy have two
children: Richard, a chef, and Jessica, an
attorney. They also have a granddaughter,
Mary Carlyle, and a grandson, Baker.
