About Our Practice

The Department of Surgery of the University Specialty Clinics is a private practice specializing in the diagnosis, management, and treatment of health problems requiring operative intervention. Faculty physicians provide in-patient/out-patient care with our partner hospitals, Palmetto Health Richland and the Dorn VA Medical Center.  In addition to patient care, faculty physicians provide the primary teaching responsibilities for surgical residents and medical students at these affiliated institutions.

Each Department of Surgery physician is a member of the faculty of the University of South Carolina School of Medicine and is responsible for training future doctors.  We are one of nine clinical departments of the University Of South Carolina, School Of Medicine providing patient care to South Carolinians.  There are several faculty physicians in the department, all of which are board certified, who care for thousands of patients each year.  We also collaborate with a number of experts in multiple disciplines to ensure that our patients receive consistent, quality care.
