About Dr. William Walker

I am originally from Memphis, Tennessee but have lived in Mississippi since 2008. I went to undergrad at Mississippi State University where I studied kinesiology and played club ice hockey for four years, and then Mississippi College to get my Masters degree in Biomedical Sciences. After graduate school I did 3 years of research at St. Dominic’s in Jackson on vein flow and stenting. This helped me decide to go to Medical school because I enjoyed the patient care and interaction more than I expected. I applied to William Carey University College of Osteopathic Medicine and did my 3rd and 4th year rotations here on the coast.

I quickly fell in love with the coast and the Memorial system and knew I would want to do my residency here, and ideally practice here in the future. While I am still undecided on any fellowships, I do have interests in Gastroenterology, Cardiology, and Pulmonary/Critical care medicine.

In my time away from medicine and the hospital I enjoy playing ice hockey and golf, watching the Saints, Nashville Predators, Memphis Grizzlies, and State games, playing video games, and hanging out with my wife and two mini golden-doodles Finn and Sophie. I also love to travel and find the best bites of food wherever I go!

About Dr. Sadaf Zahra

Growing up, I saw doctors as everyday superheroes — no cape, just a stethoscope around their necks and a calm presence that brought hope.

Watching them (doctors) work together to ease someone’s pain or save a life always left a deep impression on me. That’s what drew me to medicine, the chance to make that kind of a difference in someone’s life.

My life outside of medicine is based around my family, my friends and my kitchen. I love to cook, because good food can make you feel a lot better too.
