Summary

  • I practice general pediatric and adolescent medicine with Sandhills Pediatrics in Columbia. SC. I was once a patient of this group, and have been with them since finishing my residency in 1993. We have 5 offices around Columbia, 20 physicians, and are one of the oldest and largest pediatric groups in South Carolina. We celebrated our 45th anniversary in 2020, but trace our deepest roots back to Dr William Weston Sr., one of the first Physicians in the Southeast to limit his training and practice to Pediatrics, starting around 1912. As of 2015, our group became part of the South Carolina Pediatric Alliance, along with Palmetto Pediatrics of Columbia. As of 2023, I became the Senior Partner and President of Sandhills Pediatrics.
    I am married to the former Jennifer (Jen) Clark of Columbia, SC since October 1990, and we have three children: Trey, Riley Holliday and husband Tommy, and Clark. We reside in Northeast Columbia.
