Our approach
Medicine that feels like the Lowcountry — calm, deliberate, kind.
Time to listen
Real conversations, not seven-minute visits. We take the time to understand your story.
Continuity
You'll see Dr. Rakes-Stephens — the same trusted physician at every visit, year after year.
Prevention first
Annual wellness, screenings, and lifestyle guidance to keep you well, not just treat illness.

The office
A quiet office, a familiar face.
Tucked just off Jungle Road, our practice is intentionally small. Walk in and you'll be greeted by the same staff who know your name and your story.
