Dr. Matthew D. Williams, MD
Lafayette, LA

Dr. Williams completed his fellowship training in shoulder and elbow surgery at the University of Texas Health Science Center. In addition, Dr. Williams completed a highly coveted fellowship program in shoulder surgery at the renowned Clinique St. Anne Lumiere in Lyon, France with Dr. Gilles Walch and the co-inventors of the internationally recognized reverse shoulder arthroplasty procedure. Reverse shoulder arthroplasty is usually reserved for individuals who possess complex problems of the shoulder and are rotator cuff deficient. It represents an improvement over traditional treatment options because it allows for better function and motion. The procedure has also allowed treatment for a larger segment of patients, who until recently did not have any realistic surgical options.

  • Excellent doctor!
    Dr. Williams treated my young son for a leg fracture and he proved to be a warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely engaging doctor. He communicated treatment and expectations clearly and with cheerful confidence and never made an appointment feel rushed. He will be the first orthopedic surgeon we consider in the future.
  • Outstanding surgeon
    About a year ago, I shattered my right elbow and thought that I would never be able to use my arm again much less be able to type again as a legal secretary. Dr. Williams was awesome! My arm is basically back to normal now and I have him to thank for it. He has an amazing bedside manner, takes time to answer any questions and doesn't rush. I am so thankful he was the doctor on call in the emergency room when I had to have surgery.
