Lindsay Williams, MD, is an emergency care provider at Amberwell Atchison. Dr. Williams joined Amberwell Atchison as an experienced physician, having served in rural clinics, nursing homes, and as an emergency department medical director and stroke team physician. She has a commitment to patient-centered care, a passion for building relationships, and a dedication to personal growth and community well-being.
“When I interviewed at Amberwell, everyone was so welcoming, generous and kind,” said Dr. Williams. “I really wanted to be part of an excellent team, and it felt like Amberwell would be a great fit.”
“I was one of those kids who would always say, ‘I want to be a doctor when I grow up,’” said Dr. Williams. “You know how kids choose the professions they see highlighted in the community — doctor, nurse, teacher, firefighter. As I progressed along this path, I found that I had a lot of the skill sets that would make me a good doctor—I really enjoy people and building relationships; I understood the science; I could do the math. Doors and opportunities began opening to me, and that got me to where I am today. Yet my motivation has always been my genuine passion for people and making meaningful connections.”
“My approach with my patients revolves around kindness and compassion,” explained Dr. Williams. “While my medical expertise brings patients in to see me, people in need seek more than just medical knowledge. If providers offer medical advice, but they lack empathy, sensitivity, or a genuine sense of care, their advice is often disregarded and unhelpful. Showing kindness and compassion is a part of the healing process. Our existence isn’t solely physical. We encompass emotions, feelings, mindsets, and mental states. As providers, we must extend our care to these aspects as well.”
When she’s not caring for patients, Dr. Williams treasures quality time with her husband and their young daughter. She prioritizes living an active and healthy lifestyle. She’s passionate about the practice of yoga and is a certified yoga instructor, embracing both the physical challenges and the personal growth yoga fosters. Her love of travel has led her to various destinations, including South Africa, India, Morocco, Cuba, Costa Rica, and Paraguay. To relax and unwind, she enjoys reading.
