Consultant Dental Surgeon
Ministry of Health and Wellness, Jamaica
Greater Portmore, Saint Catherine, Jamaica
Dr. Caithlin Williams-Beecher hails from the island of Jamaica in the Caribbean. In 2010 Dr Williams-Beecher matriculated to the University of Technology, Jamaica where she was in the first cohort of students in the Doctor of Medical Dentistry programme. Upon graduation in 2015 she became one of the first dental surgeons trained on Jamaican soil; topping her graduating class with the highest honours, earning the University’s Presidential Pin for academic excellence and a host of other awards for clinical and academic excellence including the Dr Gary Glassman Endodontics Award for academic and clinical proficiency.
It was with this passion for endodontics that she desired to pursue further training in Endodontics and applied to the University of Toronto, Canada (U of T) where she was accepted to do her MSc. in Endodontics. Again, this made her a pioneer as she became the first Jamaican dentist trained on local soil to complete a specialist programme in the field of dentistry. She has gained the respect and admiration of her U of T peers and faculty for her friendly personality, professionalism, and superior clinical skills. Dr Williams-Beecher is now the first and only Canadian Board-Certified Endodontist in Jamaica and the English-speaking Caribbean.
Dr Williams-Beecher has a heart of service and pushes for the best in patient care and does this in the capacity of working as the Consultant Endodontist for the Ministry of Health in Jamaica as well as in private practice. She is a loving wife and a proud mother, priding herself on family, and work-life balance, all while giving back to church and community.
