Anti-Aging and Wellness Medicine
Located in the Williams Rejuva Center

Allison Pontius, M.D. is the newest member to our team of specialists at the Williams’ Center. After graduation from Tulane Medical School Dr. Pontius completed her residency in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas and then completed a fellowship in Facial Plastic Surgery with Dr. Edwin F. Williams, III. She received one of the highest honors in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery when she was the first runner-up for the Jack R. Anderson Prize for Scholastic Excellence. Following her fellowship she moved to Manhattan where she specialized in facial plastic surgery.

After several years working in a very high-pressure specialty, plus becoming a new mother, she realized she had developed severe stress-related conditions significantly impacting both her health and happiness. This led her to discover the field of Anti-Aging and Wellness Medicine. While learning how to heal herself she became fascinated by this new area of medicine that focused on cutting-edge research as well as natural therapies dedicated to improving health and the quality of life. The doctors she met through the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine were positive, healthy and dedicated to finding ways to optimize the health and vitality of their patients. Eventually Dr. Pontius became so passionate about this new field of medicine that she decided to leave her high-pressure career as a surgeon in order to become an Anti-Aging and Wellness Specialist. Dr. Pontius completed the fellowship in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine and is now a Diplomate of the American Board of Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine. She is now continuing on to receive her Master’s degree in Anti-Aging Medicine as well.

“Making the decision to leave a prestigious and hard-won career was not an easy one, but the absolute joy I feel now as an Anti-Aging Physician is unbeatable. I now wake up in the morning with energy and excitement for the day not only because I am now healthy, but because now I can be the one to get others on the same path. This was the best decision I have ever made.” Allison Pontius, M.D.
