Beaufort Memorial Lowcountry Medical Group Primary Care has added an experienced, board-certified physician assistant to the practice.
James Varner, MMS, PA-C, brings a breadth of experience in both urgent and primary care to Lowcountry Medical Group, where he will provide primary health care, including prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of acute and chronic illnesses in adults.
The Pennsylvania native has served as a physician assistant at urgent care and family practice clinics in San Antonio since 2018, where he provided care for patients of all ages and conditions. Given the area’s high veteran, elderly, and obese populations, Varner gained specialized knowledge in treating patients who have multiple conditions and complex health issues.
Varner earned a Master of Medical Science in Physician Assistant from Arcadia University in Glenside, Pa., where he was on the Graduate Dean’s Distinguished Honor list. He also holds a Bachelor of Science in health information management from the University of Pittsburgh.
Located at 300 Midtown Drive, Beaufort Memorial Lowcountry Medical Group Primary Care provides the full range of adult outpatient medical care, with an emphasis on wellness, as well as chronic disease management and prevention. Imaging and laboratory services are available on-site. Varner will join board-certified physicians Drs. Nicholas Dardes, Carl Derrick, Craig Floyd and Emi Rendon Pope, physician assistant Nikki Newman, and nurse practitioners Jennifer Martin, Erin Scott and Veronica Smalheiser, at the practice.
