Patient Reviews
Jul 16, 2022
I was admitted to Mississippi Baptist Medical Center on Monday, March 21, 2022, for major surgery. Dr. William Harris, Cardiac Surgeon, and Dr. William Hampton Jones, Cardiologist saved my life. They are skilled, knowledgeable, and caring medical professionals. They listened to all my concerns and questions and answered them. They thoroughly explained all medical procedures and tests. My tests and medical procedures results were in MyChart the patient portal in a timely manner. Baptist Medical Center’s MyChart (Patient Portal) is user-friendly and highly organized. I am incredibly grateful for the excellent care I received at Baptist Heart from Dr. Williams J Harris, Dr. William Hampton Jones, and Lynne Currie, Nurse Practitioner, and the superb care Kattie, Ramsey, RN gave me in SICU at Mississippi Baptist Medical Center. Thank you for the excellent care.

About Me

Care Philosophy

  • My interest is heart valve surgery. In particular, I specialize in minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS). This includes minimally invasive AVR, robotic assisted mitral valve repair and mini MAZE procedures, as well as TAVR. I believe that all patients deserve state of the art treatment as well as the knowledge that they are treated just as carefully as I would treat a member of my own family.

    Cardiothoracic surgery involves the heart and other areas within the chest. A cardiothoracic or thoracic surgeon provides care for patients with diseases within the chest area. This encompasses treating heart disease and abnormalities of the heart vessels and valves, lung cancer, tumors within the chest area, diseases of the diaphragm, chest injuries, and trachea and airway problems. Thoracic surgeons have exceptional knowledge of diagnostic and surgical techniques and physiology of the heart, lungs and respiratory system.
