CBS Detroit: Meet Dr. Victoria Williams, Michigan's only African American oculoplastic surgeon
Dr. Victoria Williams, the only African American oculoplastic surgeon in the state of Michigan and a proud client of Love Publicity, was recently featured on CBS Detroit in a heartfelt interview with Terrance Friday. The segment highlighted her inspiring journey, groundbreaking accomplishments, and the impact she’s making in her community through the Williams Eye Specialty Clinic.
Love Publicity secured this opportunity for Dr. Williams to share her story during Women’s History Month, emphasizing her dual specialization in neuro-ophthalmology and oculoplastic surgery—fields where representation remains limited, especially for women of color.
“I grew up in Michigan and was inspired by an ophthalmologist I took my grandma to when I was 16,” Dr. Williams shared in the interview. “It took nine years after undergrad to achieve this goal. It's been a journey, but it was so worth it and I'm glad that I did it.”
She also discussed the range of services she offers, including droopy eyelid correction, minimally invasive facelifts, Botox, and fillers—all available locally, eliminating the need to travel to larger markets like L.A. or New York.
“We're specially trained to take into account things like dry eye and other eye diseases that could worsen if not considered during facial procedures,” she explained. “It's important to see an oculoplastic surgeon when looking for these types of services.”
Dr. Williams' clinic has been open for just over a year and has already received an overwhelming response from patients seeking both medical and cosmetic eye care.
