About Us

Dr. Bharat Sangani

Upon a visit to the Gulf Coast of Mississippi, it was surprising to him to find that local advanced cardiac patients, especially those who needed balloon angioplasty, had to travel to either Mobile, Alabama, or New Orleans, Louisiana to receive treatment. With this knowledge, Dr. Sangani researched the idea of bringing an angioplasty program to the Gulf Coast and encountered resistance due to the lack of confidence and unavailability of an experienced cardiac team to perform the angioplasty procedure.


Dr. Sangani decided not to let any obstacles stand in his way and moved to Mississippi to create a team of qualified professionals in order to provide the finest and latest cardiology treatment options to the local community.

“Dr. Sangani probably saved my life many times. He is the best doctor I have ever had and is always smiling and very polite. I recently moved from the coast, but one of the biggest negatives I had about leaving was losing him as my cardiologist. “
