Beaufort Memorial has welcomed a board-certified family medicine physician now seeing patients in Beaufort, according to a media release.
Dr. Joseph M. DiMaria has joined Beaufort Memorial Lowcountry Medical Group Primary Care, where he provides comprehensive primary care for patients of all ages. His clinical focus includes preventive medicine, minor cosmetic procedures such as skin tag and mole removal, women’s health and a balanced approach to chronic disease management that integrates evidence-based, traditional medicine with holistic care.
Dr. DiMaria began his healthcare career as a pharmacist before pursuing medicine. He made a mid-career change, earning his medical degree from St. George’s University in Grenada, West Indies. He brings to Beaufort a wide range of clinical, academic and leadership experience from an array of healthcare settings, primarily in New York, and is excited to bring his whole-person approach to patients in the Lowcountry and make an impact in this community.
“I take the time to get to know my patients and work with them to develop a care plan to fit their individual needs,” he said. “By combining allopathic medicine with wellness-based therapies, we can better support long-term health.”
He lives in Beaufort with his husband Jeremy, his daughter Bella and their dog Max. He’s a self-proclaimed thrill seeker and enjoys art, history and cooking fun, nutritious meals for his family.
At Lowcountry Medical Group Primary Care, Dr. DiMaria diagnoses and treats a wide range of chronic conditions and has a particular interest in women’s health, including pre- and post-natal counseling.
The practice offers comprehensive outpatient medical services with a focus on wellness, preventive care and management. On-site imaging and laboratory services are available. Dr. DiMaria joins board-certified physicians Drs. Nicholas P. Dardes, Carl Derrick, Emi Rendon Pope and Craig Floyd, along with physician assistants Nikki Newman and James Varner, and nurse practitioners Veronica Smalheiser, Jennifer Martin and Erin R. Scott.
