Meet your pediatrician
Charles “Trey” Williams
MD · MBA · Board-Certified Pediatrician
Concierge pediatric care for Charlotte families, the same doctor who knows your kids by name, every time.
A pediatrician, and a parent.
My wife Lindsey is an anesthesiologist. We met in medical school in Charleston, did residency together in Vermont, and eventually landed in Charlotte, where we’re now raising two toddlers of our own. Becoming a parent changed how I see this job entirely.
When my kids get sick, I know exactly what I want: my doctor. Someone who knows us, not a triage nurse reading from a script, not a portal message answered three days later. Just my doctor, picking up.
It wasn’t one dramatic moment that made me leave. It was a slow accumulation of small ones, each a reminder that the system was optimized for throughput, not relationships. And pediatrics runs on relationships.
So I left to build something I could stand behind: a practice where I know every family, my number isn’t a secret, and the relationship comes first. Peds MD is what I’d want for my own family. I built it so yours can have it too.
“I didn’t leave medicine. I left the machine.”

The story
Ten years of knowing families by name.
I became a pediatrician because I genuinely love kids, and I’ve spent a decade building relationships with the families who trust me with their most important people. Here’s the path that got me here.

Residency
Lindsey and I completed our residencies together in Vermont before deciding where we wanted to put down roots and raise a family.

Putting down roots
We settled in Charlotte to raise our two toddlers and two dogs, and I helped establish a corporate pediatric practice here in the city, the kind of high-volume, insurance-driven setup I’d later leave to build Peds MD.

A look behind the curtain
I spent time at a health-tech startup focused on virtual care and telehealth, which only sharpened the question: why is healthcare so unnecessarily hard for families?
Today
Today
Founded The Peds MD
I started Peds MD to pioneer something better, Adaptive Primary Care, a model where healthcare adapts to your family, not the other way around. I’m board-certified and see kids from birth to age 22.
If you’re tired of the way healthcare has always worked, you’re ready for Peds MD.
The framework
Five pillars of Adaptive Primary Care.
Care that adapts to your family, not the other way around. These five pillars shape every membership tier and every one of our other services.
Environmental
Care delivered where it’s most effective for your family, your home, your office, a soccer field, even a parking lot. Healthcare comes to you, not the other way around.
Temporal
True 24/7 accessibility when you need it most, not just during business hours. No more anxious waiting until Monday morning.
Methodological
Holistic, root-cause approaches tailored to each patient’s specific needs. We go beyond treating symptoms to understand the whole child, gut health, environment, lifestyle, and more.
Communication
Connect however works best, text, phone, video visit, or in-person. No more playing phone tag, waiting on portal messages, or repeating yourself to a triage nurse.
Accessibility
Barriers removed, not created. No insurance headaches, no surprise bills, no runaround. Simple, transparent pricing and direct access to your physician.

Adaptive Primary Care, explained
How does Adaptive Primary Care work?
It’s the model Dr. Trey built Peds MD around: healthcare that adapts to your family instead of forcing your family to adapt to the system. It rests on five pillars (environmental, temporal, methodological, communication, and accessibility), so care meets you where you are, when you need it.
Care is delivered where it works best (your home, your office, or a virtual visit), with true 24/7 access to Dr. Trey by text, phone, or video. The approach is holistic and root-cause, not just symptom-chasing, and pricing is simple and membership-based, so there are no insurance headaches or surprise bills. Same board-certified pediatrician, every time.
It shares the same foundation, membership-based, direct access to your doctor, and no insurance billing in the middle. Adaptive Primary Care takes it further by bringing care to you and treating the whole child, rather than waiting for you to come to a clinic.
Families who want a real relationship with one pediatrician, from birth through age 22. In-person care is available across the Charlotte area, and Virtual Only membership is open to any family in North Carolina or South Carolina, wherever you live.
