Beating Heart Surgery In California

Dr. Julio E. Williams is a board-certified cardiothoracic surgeon in California, based in Redding, with over 20 years of experience. He specializes in techniques including “beating heart surgery” (also called off-pump coronary artery bypass), which he performs to avoid stopping the heart and using the heart-lung machine. This approach reduces risks such as bleeding, stroke, infections, and neurological complications compared to traditional on-pump bypass. Under Dr. Williams’ leadership, his practice aims to be a premier destination in California for beating heart surgery and comprehensive cardiovascular and thoracic surgery services.
