About Me

DocMama21
Hello there! I am a full-time family physician in small town South Carolina. I am a wife and a mom. I am a Down syndrome and adoption advocate. I am introverted, stubborn, and hopelessly flawed. I am a Jesus-follower and a fan of the underdog. I love community, good food and wine, and bad reality TV. And I used to be creative before I sold the right side of my brain to go to medical school.
