2 We take care of all administrative duties so you can care for your patients. A simpler way to practice medicine Private practice required spending countless hours doing everything from staffing to collections, even buying office supplies. Doctors Care allows me to build my own practice, without managing every last detail. Arnold Campo, MD The reasons for going into medicine vary widely; but one career ambition we all share in common altruistic, intellectual and financial motivations notwithstanding is the simple desire to be happy and fulfilled in our careers. For many physicians, this increasingly elusive goal is accomplished when a balance is achieved between work and life. At Doctors Care, we understand the many pressures faced by community healthcare providers today declining reimbursement and financial uncertainty, increasing regulatory pressures, the threat of malpractice, strained relationships with partners and hospital employers, just to name few. Many healthcare providers are working more hours, including extended on-call shifts, just to make the numbers work, a trend that further compromises one s ability to achieve a work-life balance. Doctors Care is pleased to offer a simpler way to practice medicine. For over 30 years, we ve provided high quality, convenient neighborhood medical care in locations throughout South Carolina. Specializing in urgent care, we have a stellar reputation for quality care and convenience. We re also known for treating our physicians well that is, with a great deal of respect and a genuine regard for their careers and job satisfaction. Just ask one of the many providers who have been with us for years. One of the ways our centers increase job satisfaction is by reducing administrative and practice- related pressures, so providers are free to do what they do best care for patients. Doctors Care takes of scheduling, billing, collections, payroll, insurance (including malpractice insurance), staffing and a host of other administrative duties. As a result, our providers are free to build and maintain a successful patient base focused exclusively on patient care.

6 South Carolina is a place of geologic diversity, great natural beauty and deep primal appeal. Uniquely situated both geographically, historically and culturally, the Palmetto State has become virtually synonymous with quality of life. Land of possibilities One of the most rewarding and satisfying aspects of urgent care is the great variety of patients we treat. Not knowing who or what I might see on any given day is... well, exciting! Terry King, MD Life in the Carolinas has long been celebrated for its natural beauty. It has served as a backdrop for drama, a muse for artists, the subject of folk songs and classical literature and the site of world-class sporting events. South Carolina is as much a mental state as it is a geographical place, representing an easier, more graceful way of life, one that still seems to follow the ancient rhythms of curling surf and swaying pines. With a foothold in the mountains and an impossibly long coastline buffeted by the warmth of the Atlantic s sub-tropical breezes, South Carolina is not just a seasonal retreat you can actually live here! The Northwest corner of the state offers all manner of alpine activities, from hiking and fly fishing to horseback riding, whitewater kayaking and mountain biking. Home to a number of well-known colleges, universities and large corporations, the Upstate is also a hive of intellectual, commercial and industrial activity. The middle of the state or Midlands represents another dynamic swath of industry and academia, with the State House, Governor s Mansion and the University of South Carolina sitting squarely in the middle of the capitol city, Columbia. The entire coastline speaks for itself. Beach goers and golfers from points around the globe flock to Myrtle Beach s Grand Strand, while celebrities, dignitaries and other VIPs are routinely spotted among the horse-driven carriages and gas-lit, cobblestone streets of historic Charleston. Incredible as it may seem, there are more than 450 golf courses in South Carolina, with new designs in the works each year. Aptly regarded as The Golf Capitol of the World, the state boasts layouts by Jones, Byrd, Maples, Fazio, Nicklaus, Ross even John Daly has a couple of first-rate courses designed to entice and reward the big hitter. Though a good portion of South Carolina s vast acreage is rural, the population centers in which Doctors Care locations are strategically located provide families with outstanding educational opportunities, both public and private. Charleston, Columbia and Greenville have highly regarded public school systems, with high schools, middle schools and primary schools often ranked among the nation s best. Private options such as Columbia s Hammond, Charleston s Porter Gaud and Spartanburg s Country Day School are second to none in the United States. With regular hours, a guaranteed paycheck and zero administrative headaches, Doctors Care providers have ample time to enjoy all that South Carolina has to offer families and individuals alike.
