Dr. Carey Williams
Dr. Carey Williams has been a pediatrician at Carolina Pediatrics of the Triad for the past 7 years. A Raleigh native, Dr. Williams first met her husband at the bus stop in fifth grade (although he claims he didn't know her then because of her bad perm). Eventually she attended Duke University where she cheered for 4 years. She graduated from medical school at UNC-Chapel Hill where she also earned her master's degree in Public Health with her now-husband by her side (her perm having finally grown out).
They then left for Denver, CO to complete her pediatric residency where they expanded their family to include a son and a daughter. Her daughter was only 6 weeks old when they moved back to NC, this time to settle in Greensboro, where they have been ever since.
Dr. Williams' passion in her daily life is to help parents keep their children healthy, happy, and safe. The mission of Operation Smile, in providing quality, life-changing healthcare to children in need, is a global extension of this. Thus she welcomed the opportunity to participate in Dancing with the Carolina Stars 2019 without hesitation. Provided there is no flossing or perms involved!

Since 1982, we've worked with local medical professionals, governments, hospitals and other NGOs to deliver the safest care to each of our patients, and have established care centers wherever possible to give children ongoing medical treatment.
Operation Smile continues to provide training and education for local medical professionals so they can provide care within their own communities and share their expertise. To date, we have provided more than 220,000 free surgeries for children born with cleft lip, cleft palate and other facial deformities.
