Dr. William Gray, Chairman of Cardiovascular Services at the Denton hospital, brings both deep roots and forward-thinking leadership to the role. After helping establish the hospital’s cardiovascular program over a decade ago, Dr. Gray has returned to guide its continued growth.
“When I came back, I was amazed to see how much the hospital had evolved,” Dr. Gray said. “The team I worked with years ago was still here, and they’d only grown stronger. That kind of consistency speaks volumes about our culture and the quality of care we provide.”
A full spectrum of cardiovascular services
Baylor Scott & White The Heart Hospital – Denton offers a comprehensive and robust array of services.
These include:
- Cardiology
- Cardiothoracic surgery
- Electrophysiology
- Vascular surgery
- Cardiac rehabilitation
- Specialized areas like sleep medicine and wound care
The hospital also features a dedicated electrophysiology program providing advanced treatments for conditions like atrial fibrillation, including catheter ablations, pacemaker implants, and left atrial appendage closures.
Patient-centered, team-based approach
A hallmark of care at the Denton campus is its highly collaborative, multidisciplinary approach. From inpatient recovery to outpatient valve evaluations, Dr. Gray emphasizes seamless coordination among specialists.
“We meet regularly as a team to evaluate cases and track outcomes,” he said. “That includes everyone from surgeons and interventional cardiologists to nursing staff and care coordinators.”
One example of this approach is the hospital’s Valve Clinic model, where patients receive all necessary testing in a single visit, followed by a same-day consultation with the full care team to discuss the best next steps.
Bringing expert care closer to home
To better serve the growing communities of southern Denton County, Baylor Scott & White The Heart Hospital is opening new outpatient clinics in Argyle and Highland Village. Scheduled to open this summer, these locations will initially offer cardiology consultations and basic diagnostics, with plans to expand to more advanced cardiovascular testing soon after.
“Our goal is to reduce the burden of travel and bring high-quality testing and care closer to where people live,” Dr. Gray explained. “That includes eventually offering services like cardiac MRI and PET scans, which have traditionally only been available in larger care centers.”
With the opening of the new clinics, Baylor Scott & White The Heart Hospital – Denton continues to solidify its role as a leader in regional cardiovascular care. To schedule an appointment today, visit the hospital’s website.
