Meet James

I attended medical school at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, SC. In addition, both my residency in internal medicine and fellowship in cardiology were completed at the Medical University of South Carolina. I truly enjoy helping my patients with cardiovascular disease restore their health and wellbeing. I consider myself fortunate to practice cardiology in the upstate of South Carolina.
