IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Dear Patients,
We appreciate the trust and confidence you have in us to care for your health, and we are pleased to announce an upcoming significant change in our practice. Effective MONDAY, AUGUST 31, 2026, we will become part of Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System and Medical Group of the Carolinas (MGC). While our practice names will differ, the physicians and staff, locations, and telephone numbers will remain the same.
Please be aware that all locations will close at noon on Thursday, August 27, 2026, and reopen on Thursday, September 3, 2026, for our offices to transition to MGC. We will also be available all day on Friday, September 4, 2026. We will have limited staff available to answer phone calls and take messages during this time, so we ask for your patience.
Once this transition is complete, it will provide patients with better access to their medical records, appointment requests, and communication through the MyChart patient portal.
Thank you for the opportunity to care for you and for participating in this exciting journey.

Short of Breath? Tips for COPD Breathlessness
Whether you have COPD or someone you love has COPD, an episode of breathlessness can wreak havoc with your emotions.
Breathlessness is a common symptom of a COPD exacerbation. Since we all need oxygen to live, the feeling of not being able to get enough air can trigger a “suffocation alarm.” The natural response is anxiety and panic. But the more someone panics, the more muscles in the body tighten. That makes it even more difficult to breathe.
