My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...
In my personalized healthcare practice, patients have direct contact with me on my cell phone, home phone and office phone 24 hours a day. This keeps our line of communication uninterrupted at all times, which has resulted in preventing an office visit or ER visit when appropriate. My MDVIP-affiliated primary care practice has given me the time and tools to provide my patients with the individualized care and attention they deserve. Similar to concierge medicine practices, I also offer conveniences like same- or next-day appointments that start on time.
My office is located in the heart of North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, but I take care of patients from Pawleys Island to St. James Plantation near Southport, North Carolina, better known as the Grand Strand. I am affiliated with Grand Strand Regional Medical Center, and my primary interests, other than wellness and prevention, are focused on treatment for hypertension, diabetes and cholesterol disorders, as well as general adult medicine issues.

Dr. Ramsbottom has been my doctor for over 30 years. He has always been available even when he is on vacation. When he was on vacation I had a bad fall and hit my head.

This is an example of his care for his patients even when he… See more

Great physical and Dr. Ramsbottom is always responsive to texts and emails.
Dr. Ramsbottom sent me for a abdominal scan which showed that I had ovarian, kidney and liver cancer at the same time. He got me in touch with the proper doctors and I am now cancer free for the last almost 7 years. He is a true friend that I can call on at any time any hour. He makes sure I have regular check-ups with him yearly and sometimes in between. He kept a check on me through out… See more
