Background
Dr. Turnbull’s interest in medicine started at a young age. In middle school she volunteered in the hospital where her mother was an ICU nurse. Her fascination with surgery, in particular, was piqued when she was allowed to observe an orthopedic surgery during high school.
During college and medical school, her mentor was an “old-school general surgeon” who inspired her to go into general surgery. She subsequently completed a residency at Prisma Health in Greenville, SC, where she gained extensive experience completing complicated surgeries alongside a variety of specialists.
A Burnettown, S.C., native Dr. Turnbull has spent her entire life in South Carolina and loves her state. She and her husband regularly attend Gamecock football games, enjoy hiking with their dog Norman, and love boating around Beaufort.
