Physicians and Staff
Mission
Kidney Disease & Hypertension Centers is committed to providing patients with convenient access to high-quality care. We believe that providing high-quality care is not only about the medical advice that we dispense, but more importantly about the relationships we have with our patients. We continue to strive to be a leader in innovative medical practices and are one of the first clinics in the areas to offer online health services to our patients.
History
Kidney Disease & Hypertension Centers, P.A. was started in 1996 to provide care for the residents of the Jackson County area. Thanks to our supportive patients, we have been able to grow our practice to three physicians and a nurse practitioner who serve over 30,000 patients.
The physicians share in the responsibility for providing 24/7 services for hospital patients and their doctors at the hospitals in George, Jackson, and eastern Harrison counties as well as care for the patients of the three dialysis centers in George and Jackson counties, Miss.
