Biography
Dr. Wilson is a pediatric cardiologist at Children’s of Mississippi. He was born and raised in Meridian, MS and completed his undergraduate and medical training at the University of Mississippi before leaving the state for post-graduate training. He completed his residency at the University of Virginia and spent 4 years in Charleston, SC for fellowship training in pediatric cardiology and electrophysiology. Dr. Wilson provides care for children with all forms of heart disease, but has a special focus in the management of arrhythmias and other disorders of the heart’s electrical system, which can be treated with medications, pacemakers, defibrillators, or ablation procedures depending on the case. He is thrilled to be back with his family in Mississippi and looks forward to serving the people of this great state.
