From staff reports
Beaufort Memorial Orthopaedic Specialists have added a new nurse practitioner, further expanding access to high-demand orthopedic care in the Lowcountry.
Aron Love, MSN, FNP-C, a board-certified family nurse practitioner with a diverse background including athletic training and caring for patients in both emergency and urgent care settings, will see patients at the practice’s locations in Port Royal and Okatie. He will also play a vital role in caring for patients before and after their orthopedic surgical procedures.
Love’s expertise ranges from emergency medicine and urgent care to athletic training, intensive care and orthopedics, including the treatment of injuries like fractures and sprains. His background with the “organized chaos” of working in an emergency room for 15 years gives him a strong foundation for Beaufort Memorial’s busy, fast-paced orthopedics practice.
Love said he is carrying over to orthopedics at Beaufort Memorial the same philosophy he brought to patient care in the emergency and urgent care settings.
“I like to take time to understand my patients and meet them where they are, speaking with them honestly and hearing their perspectives,” he said in a media release. “I listen to them, and we develop a plan together.”
Love will treat patients experiencing a wide range of orthopedic conditions, including arthritis, carpal tunnel, shoulder conditions, hip and knee pain, and fractures and other injuries, as well as educating patients about pre- and post-operative care.
At the practice, Love joins board-certified, fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons Dr. Cory Messerschmidt and Dr. Vandit Sardana. Beaufort Memorial Orthopaedic Specialists are located in Port Royal at 1680 Ribaut Road and in Okatie at the Okatie Medical Pavilion (122 Okatie Center Blvd. North, Suite 210).
