As a multi-specialty practice including General Surgery, Weight Loss & Metabolic Surgery, Breast Cancer Surgery, Hernia Repair, Wound Care and Urological Care, South Mississippi Surgeons has been the leading providers of surgical treatment for the Mississippi Gulf Coast and the surrounding areas for over 35 years.

South Mississippi Surgeons is one of Mississippi’s largest general surgery practices with convenient office locations in Biloxi, Ocean Springs, Pascagoula and Lucedale.  For over 35 years, our practice has been committed to providing the highest quality surgical care South Mississippi has to offer.  We have eight general surgeons on our staff: Dr. William “Pete” Avara, Dr. John Bailey, Dr. Edward Dvorak, Dr. Jason Payne, Dr. Nicholas Fayard, Dr. Jeremy Simpler and Dr. John Hall.  Our practice offers a wide range of surgeries and procedures, including minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery, robotic-assisted surgery, complex hernia repairs, breast surgery, weight loss surgery and wound care treatment to name just a few.

We also provide in-office skin lesion removal, which takes only a few minutes and requires no anesthesia.
