Dr. William A. Sims is a retired board-certified orthopedic surgeon based in Decatur, Alabama. Dr. Sims specialized in treating sports injuries and performing joint replacements for arthritic conditions, offering personalized care to help patients maintain active lifestyles. He completed his medical degree and residency at the University of Tennessee.
Outside of his medical practice, Dr. Sims has been honored in North Alabama through the Dr. Bill Sims Trail—a 14.7-mile multi-use path designed for biking, running, and walking enthusiasts. This trail showcases scenic views, historic downtown areas, and beautiful landscapes across the city.
In 2024, the City of Decatur received an $18.4 million federal grant to expand the Dr. Bill Sims Hike-Bike Way by 8.7 miles. This expansion aims to connect Old Town Decatur with the riverfront, enhancing accessibility and promoting community connectivity.
