BMH Lowcountry Medical Group adds PA
Beaufort Memorial Lowcountry Medical Group has added a new board-certified physician assistant to its medical staff.
Margaret Miler, PA-C, will be working with board-certified gastroenterologists Drs. John Crisologo and Richard Stewart. The GI team also includes board-certified physician assistant Kimberly Thorpe.
A Charleston native, Miler joined the busy multi-specialty practice after working a year at East Cooper Coastal Family Physicians in Mount Pleasant. Her duties at the internal medicine clinic, which specializes in geriatric care, included performing physical exams; ordering and interpreting labs and other diagnostic studies; making diagnoses and developing and implementing treatment plans; and overseeing care and follow-up for hospitalized patients.
A magna cum laude graduate of the College of Charleston with a degree in biology, Miler served as a certified medical assistant in Summerville for a year before beginning her physician assistant studies at the Medical University of South Carolina. She graduated in 2015 following five-week rotations in eight different specialties, including Internal Medicine, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Emergency Medicine, Pediatrics and Family Medicine.
Miler has been an active volunteer with several local charitable organizations in Charleston, including a yoga marathon for Louie’s Kids and a yoga flow for clean water benefiting Water Mission. In 2012, she participated in a medical mission trip to Costa Rica.
Along with the GI practitioners, Lowcountry Medical Group includes specialists in family and internal medicine, gynecology and cardiology.
