Dr Willis was very attentive and concerning as always. He listened intently when I explained to him about an episode I had 2 nights before my appointment with him. Having CAD and LBBB on top of this happening is quite worrisome to me. Considering the pain I had in my face, chest and back he recommended I have several tests to ensure this episode was not heart related. I have the utmost confidence in his expertise and his experience as a physician!! His jovial personality makes you feel very comfortable and at ease!! I'm so grateful to have him as my Dr and trust he will make the right decisions in regards to my health!! I live almost 3 hours from his office so I think that says it all about how phenomenal Dr Willis is!!! He's the best ??Dr and I greatly appreciate him!!!

Just that the wait time when I arrived was a lot longer than I wanted, I know that happens sometimes, but when I go back out to the car and looked at the time, I realized we were there for two hours and one hour was waiting. But everyone was super nice and professional. I only mention that because it gave us space for a comment and I know you'd like to hear the truth when you get surveys and stuff.

Wellstar Douglas Hospital Earns Advanced Certification
Wellstar Douglas Hospital recently attained advanced certification as a Primary Heart Attack Center (PHAC) by The Joint Commission and The American Heart Association. This means the hospital offers patients the next generation of cardiac care.
“Our cardiac experts in Douglas County are dedicated to doing what is best for the patient,” said Dr. Joshua M. Willis, Medical Director of Cardiac Catheterization Lab at Wellstar Douglas Hospital. “The Joint Commission certification shows that our cardiac program is designed to help people having heart attacks receive the fastest, most evidence-based care.”
Wellstar Douglas Hospital has 24-hour-a-day coverage to treat heart attacks. The hospital’s team communicates with first responders, so patients can get diagnosed and treated as fast as possible upon arrival at the hospital by ambulance.
“Everything we do is centered around giving each person the best chance for positive outcomes,” Dr. Willis said.
The hospital’s team aims to get patients diagnosed fast by performing cardiac tests within 10 minutes of arrival at the hospital. For patients who need surgical intervention, Wellstar Douglas Hospital’s interventional cardiologists perform percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) — a minimally-invasive procedure that restores blood flow to the heart — within a 90-minute-window.
According to Gene Morris, Director of Cardiac and Vascular Services, the cardiac team has performed 2,500 PCIs since the program launched in 2012.
Wellstar Douglas Hospital is also designated as an Emergency Cardiac Care Center (ECCC) Level II by the Georgia Department of Public Health.
