My primary concern is the overall health and well-being of my patients. In our office, we have always tried to provide the best service possible, including availability, standard of care practices, and the genuine concern for our patients. I have always enjoyed taking care of the more complex medical problems and have established my reputation based on my ability to keep the most sick patients in the community as healthy as possible. Additionally, through my research practice, Palmetto Clinical Research, we have stayed ahead of the curve related to education. We have been doing research related to hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia, stroke, myocardial infarction, sinusitis, pneumonia, and most recently have led the research community with respect to anticoagulation. My goal for the future is to continue to provide the highest quality care to all of my patients despite the changing environment related to government control of the healthcare industry. I will continue to fight for the rights of my patients which will allow us to continue to provide the same state-of-the-art care despite restrictions which will be placed on everyone, especially the elderly.

I believe in each of us caring for our bodies through a healthy diet and activity level. Choosing carefully what we put into our bodies for fuel is very important as is the amount of exercise we give our bodies. In addition, choosing not to expose ourselves to toxins including smoking plays a major role. While diet, exercise and lifestyle modification is a terrific place to start, many will still experience medical conditions that require treatment. I follow evidence based medical practices and guidelines to keep these conditions under control. This means that I base my treatments on what the research has proven to work. Palmetto Primary Care Physicians is continuing to strive for the best outcomes by following these types of guidelines. We have patient care coordinators that are currently reviewing patients with high blood pressure and diabetes to be sure all recommended interventions, medications and testing is occurring. My practice also involves the face to face encounter with patients on a regular basis depending on the medical conditions. Although technology is going to be increasingly helpful in keeping the lines of communication between doctors and patients open, I still believe in the one on one in person appointment. The actual examination of a patient is integral to determining accurate diagnosis and treatment plans.	Phone: (843) 856-6402	Fax: (843) 569-5899			Daniel Island	12/28/2017 12:24 PM
