About
Bio
Since my fellowship in Primary Care Sports Medicine I have enjoyed being a partner in private practice, and then returning to academics as faculty with a State Medical School. In 2009 I returned to the Upstate of South Carolina to start a new practice with the St. Francis Bon Secours Medical Group. Our unique practice has a focus on the overall health of active individuals. We strive to keep active those that are already active, and encourage all others to become active. We treat most musculoskeletal injuries as well as the common illnesses that all active people might have. In addition, we stress the importance of prevention and wellness and performance evaluations as indicated or desired. Please call us if you have questions about the many services available in our clinic.
Much of our time is also spent on the field or the court providing medical coverage for numerous sporting events around the area.
