Bio
Shirley Ann Williams, M.D., was born in Peoria, Ill. Raised in a family with 12 children, she received her B.S. in Biology from Peoria's Bradley University, where she graduated cum laude. After completing medical school in 1977 at the University of Iowa School of Medicine, Iowa City, Iowa, Williams continued her education at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation in Cleveland, Ohio, where she completed a residency in internal medicine and a fellowship in noninvasive cardiology.
Upon completion of her formal medical training, Williams became a staff cardiologist at the Veterans Administration Center in Temple, Texas. While there, she also served as assistant professor in the Department of Medicine at the Texas A&M University College of Medicine. These experiences inspired Williams to expand her skills by pursuing an additional fellowship in invasive cardiology at Hahnemann University Hospital in Philadelphia, Pa., in 1990. Prior to her move to Dallas, she was in private practice in Macon, Ga., for 4 1/2 years. A Fellow of the American College of Cardiology, Williams is board-certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM), and the ABIM Subspecialty Board of Cardiovascular Diseases.
In 2011, Williams was nominated as "Cardiologist of the Year" for Denton County. She serves as medical director and chairman of the quality improvement committee and utilization review committee at Lewisville Medical Center, where she is also a member of the leadership team and serves as secretary of the medical staff. Williams is also a member the hospital's critical care committee and open heart committee. She received the Thomas F. Frist humanitarian award from Lewisville Medical Center in April 2011. Williams also serves on the HCA North Texas Division physician quality advisory committee for the nine north Texas hospitals.
Williams holds active medical staff privileges at Texas Health Flower Mound, Lewisville Medical Center and Texas Health Denton.
Williams joined Cardiovascular Specialists P.A. in April, 1995. One of her strengths is an ability to relate to different kinds of people — much of which she attributes to growing up with so many siblings. She also has a special fondness for the elderly, and counts her experiences in caring for older patients as some of her most rewarding.

I understand issues unexpected arrive, but sitting 30 minutes after my appointment time with no one proactively communicating or setting expectations at check-in is not professional and unfair to your patients.

Good Improvement.Feb 2024Dr. Williams went out of her way to help me with my problem. I have never been to a Dr like her. She is excellent. Happy she's my drFeb 2024Never have had a bad experience in her officeFeb 2024Wait time between assistant and provider longer than usual.Feb 2024I waited 1hour & 20min past my appt time for Dr Williams to see me. My appt was at 10AM, so I don't feel this delay could have been due to her being backed up, or running behind schedule. No one ever advised me she was running late. After almost 1&1/2 hr wait, she never apologized or mentioned her tardiness. Because my appt was for an annual checkup, & my BP was good, she spent 7 min with me. I like her very much, but have had unacceptable long wait times, with no explanation each of the 3 times I've seen her. As a patient, I feel this is discourteous & unprofessional.Feb 2024The staff is friendly [...]Feb 2024I love Dr. Williams & her whole team.
