Beaufort Memorial Surgical Specialists Adds Taylor Turnbull, M.D.

To further meet the high demand among local residents for surgical services, Beaufort Memorial Surgical Specialists has added another general surgeon to the practice.

Taylor Turnbull, M.D., comes to Beaufort after completing her residency in general surgery at Prisma Health in Greenville, S.C. Skilled in robotic and laparoscopic surgical techniques, she brings experience in the treatment of a broad range of acute and chronic diseases and disorders to Beaufort Memorial Surgical Specialists. Among her professional interests are complex hernia repair, colorectal surgery (including anorectal surgery), skin lesion repair, biliary surgery, and abdominal surgery.

Turnbull graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in biology from the University of South Carolina Honors College and a medical degree from Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC). She gained significant experience completing complex procedures in a tertiary care center with multiple surgical subspecialties during her residency but says that she most enjoyed the months she spent at smaller community hospitals throughout the upstate of South Carolina. She says that general surgery is her passion thanks to her experiences in college.

Her mentor there was an “old-school general surgeon,” as she describes him, who had seen generations of patients come through his practice. That early exposure to community surgery coupled with her experience during residency solidified her decision to specialize in general surgery where she could cultivate that “community feel” with her patients and have the opportunity to conduct a variety of surgical operations.

“Dr. Turnbull will be an exceptional addition to our team of skilled providers at Beaufort Memorial Surgical Specialists,” said Russell Baxley, Beaufort Memorial president and CEO. “Her depth of knowledge and compassion will be of great benefit to local patients for years to come.”

Beaufort Memorial Surgical Specialists offers a full range of surgeries, from simple, minimally invasive procedures to complex operations and has locations at Beaufort Medical Plaza, 989 Ribaut Road, Beaufort, and Beaufort Memorial Okatie Medical Pavilion, 122 Okatie Center Blvd. North. Its highly experienced, board-certified surgeons are skilled in using the latest minimally invasive and robot-assisted surgical techniques.

At the practice, Turnbull joins board-certified general surgeons Drs. Deanna Mansker, Stephen Sisco and Aubrey Place as well as certified physician assistants Laura Livergood Kaiser, Anna Grace Stoddard and Bailey Stewart Toulson.
