Southern Mississippi Heart Center

Established in 1995, SMHC has grown to include 5 cardiologists that not only treat heart disease after its onset, but also help prevent heart disease by helping educate the community about leading a healthy lifestyle. Our physicians specialize in all aspects of cardiovascular health including heart rhythm disturbances and peripheral vascular disease.

There are now four conveniently located clinics on the gulf coast. All of our locations are staffed with a highly competent and friendly team. We also offer a host of noninnvasive testing in labs that are conveniently available to our clinics. Invasive and interventional procedures are performed by the physicians who are either Board Certified or Board Eligible in Cardiovascular Disease.
