Beaufort Memorial Surgical Specialists has added board-certified physician assistant Bailey Stewart Toulson, PA-C, to its clinical team, enhancing surgical care for area residents.
Toulson will assist board-certified general surgeons in both the clinic and operating room where she’ll perform pre- and post-operative procedures such as prepping patients for surgery, closing incisions and applying wound dressings. Additionally, she will evaluate patients pre- and post-surgery and provide consultations to emergency room and hospital patients.
A Georgia native, Toulson earned a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry at Georgia Southern University, and holds a Master of Science in Physician Assistant from South University.
Her decision to pursue a career in medicine stemmed from a lifelong passion for science, but it was undergoing hip surgery at 16 years old that prompted her aspiration to become a physician assistant. Sensing the young Toulson’s distress over the impending surgery, Toulson’s physician assistant took the time to provide comfort and explain the procedure.
“I will be there to hear my patients, and to educate them as much as I can so that they can be prepared and comfortable for their procedures,” said Toulson.
Beaufort Memorial Surgical Specialists offers a full range of surgeries, from simple, minimally invasive procedures to complex operations. Its highly experienced, board-certified surgeons are skilled in using the latest minimally invasive and robot-assisted surgical techniques. Toulson joins general surgeons Drs. Deanna Mansker, Aubrey Place, and Stephen Sisco; and physician assistants Laura Livergood Kaiser and Anna Grace Stoddard at the practice.
The practice has two locations — at Beaufort Medical Plaza, 989 Ribaut Road, Suite 360, Beaufort; and Beaufort Memorial Okatie Medical Pavilion, 122 Okatie Center Blvd. North, Suite 300, Okatie. To make an appointment, call 843-524-8171.
