Dr. Nathaniel Williams

Dr. James was born in Saint Lucia and grew up in South Carolina where he was an athletic and social kid. He has always been interested in art and the medical field. It wasn’t until his senior year of college studying Biology at the University of Georgia that he realized he could pair his love of art and medicine with dentistry. A career in dentistry, and especially as a restorative dentist, would be just the way to mix these two passions. After the University of Georgia, Dr. James attended medical college in Augusta, Georgia.
