From staff reports
Beaufort Memorial board-certified orthopedic surgeon Dr. Leland Stoddard retired from practice recently. During his 38½-year career, Dr. Stoddard treated thousands of Beaufort area patients with joint and bone disorders and injuries.
“Throughout that time, I have remained in awe of his professionalism, commitment to excellent patient care, common sense, calm demeanor and just overall pleasant aura,” Beaufort Memorial Chief Medical Officer Dr. Kurt Gambla said.
Dr. Stoddard joined Beaufort Memorial Orthopaedic Specialists in 2015 when Lowcountry Medical Group was acquired by the hospital. Prior to his role as a founding partner of Lowcountry Medical Group, he was in private practice with Carolina Sports Medicine.
Staff and colleagues joined together at Shellring Ale Works to celebrate Dr. Stoddard’s distinguished career and to share appreciation and thanks for the care and compassion he provided to patients throughout the Lowcountry.
