Best Intestinal Diverticulitis Doctors in Mount Pleasant, SC

Soon after beginning my medical career as a general surgeon in Beaufort, I discovered a passion for helping patients regain their lives through weight-loss surgery. \n I'm certified to perform bariatric surgeries through the da Vinci robotic platform. But beyond leading-edge technique, I think it's my approach of treating the person - not just the medical issues - that has been a driving force behind my patients' long-term success. \n I've been practicing in the Low Country since 2002, which has allowed me to develop long-term relationships with my patients and guide them through challenges they may face, even decades after their surgery. \n Throughout my tenure in Summerville, South Carolina, I've been honored to receive national recognition for patient satisfaction, including the First Humanitarian Award given by the HCA Healthcare, for my commitment to patient dignity and care. \n My wife, our two children and I love to fish, kayak and explore. I thoroughly enjoy sharing my love of the outdoors with others and have become known for hosting kayaking trips out of Shem Creek for my patients and their families. Applying the six pillars of lifestyle medicine - a whole food, plant-forward eating pattern; physical activity; restorative sleep; stress management; avoidance of risky substances and positive social connections - will help you achieve an improved quality of life and longevity. You can schedule with me for a full lifestyle medicine consultation when you call the office.

I particularly enjoy adolescent health, women's health and educating all my patients on preventive medicine. I am certified by the American Board of Family Medicine and a member of the American Academy of Family Physicians. \n I grew up in Summerville, South Carolina, and knew I wanted to make my career in the Lowcountry. When I'm not treating patients, you can find me cheering on the Clemson Tigers, reading, exercising, boating, being involved in the Junior League of Charleston and spending time with my three sons.
