The addition of two new providers to Beaufort Memorial Urology Specialists will expand the range of services available to residents of the Lowcountry and beyond.
A board-certified and broadly experienced urologist, Louis Remynse, M.D., brings nearly four decades of clinical and surgical experience to Urology Specialists, where he will diagnose and treat a wide range of chronic and acute urological disorders, among them benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), kidney stones and urinary incontinence. A member of the Society of Urologic Oncology, Dr. Remynse specializes in robot-assisted surgical treatments for bladder, kidney and prostate cancers. In total, he has performed more than 1,250 da Vinci robotic surgeries.
Remynse comes to the practice from Cedarwood Medical Center in St. Joseph, Mich., and earlier practiced at urology groups and medical centers in Pennsylvania, Maine and Illinois.
The Michigan native received a Doctor of Medicine from University of Michigan Medical School in Ann Arbor and completed a residency in urology at Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, serving as chief medical resident while there.
Matthew “Matt” Baker, PA-C, PharmD, is skilled as a certified physician assistant and as a pharmacist. At the urology practice works with its clinical team to assess and manage treatment for acute and chronic urological disorders that most frequently can be addressed with medication rather than surgery.
A Yemassee native and self-described “Lowcountry boy,” Baker completed several clinical rotations at Beaufort Memorial during his PA training. He came to Urology Specialists after seven years as a physician assistant at a urology practice in Bluffton, where he gained expertise in cystoscope procedures and active monitoring of patients with an elevated PSA level and those at the conclusion of their prostate cancer treatment. For the first nine years of his medical career, he was employed as a pharmacist before determining that his heart lay in direct patient care.
Baker holds a Master of Physician Assistant Studies from South University in Savannah and a Doctor of Pharmacy from Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston.
Beaufort Memorial Urology Specialists, formerly known as Coastal Carolina Urology Group, was acquired by Beaufort Memorial in late 2023, and offers women and men expertise and experience in the diagnosis and treatment of urinary system diseases and conditions, including those affecting the kidneys, bladder, adrenal glands, ureters, urethra and male reproductive organs. Remynse and Baker join board-certified urologist Louis Plzak, M.D., and certified physician assistants Kristin Callaghan and Nancy Thomas at the practice, located at 1055 Ribaut Road, Suite 10, in Beaufort.
