My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...
As an experienced family medicine physician, I am your advocate in our complicated medical system. My main focus in on wellness and prevention, but I am well versed in acute and chronic medical conditions. Communication, trust and building long-standing relationships are important to me as a primary care doctor. With a warm and friendly atmosphere and quality time during visits, I am able to partner with my patients and tailor their care to their individual needs and goals.
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.

for John G. Ramsbottom Jr., MD
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

Just wanted to say how much I appreciate having Dr Ramsbottom as my doctor. I have a tendency to catch colds that’s go down into my chest and become severe? Dr R is always available with advise and meditations that have proved very helpful. Additionally, Dr R always takes a lot of time to go over my physicals in a way that anyone could understand and make any changes I need to make to stay… See more

Nothing but praise for the pleasure of being a patient of Dr. Ramsbottom. He is very professional and caring. I can discuss any concerns and he is reachable all hours for any minor or major concern. Glad we stayed with him and joined MDVIP. Thank you for your service

Only a month after I joined MDVIP, I was on the golf course when I began to see thick opaque floaters in my vision. It was after hours and I called Dr. Ramsbottom on his cellphone with my concerns. He called the head of one the best eye clinics in the area and the doctor set me up with his top retina specialists that day. To make long story short, I ended up with a tear in my retina. It was… See more

Dr Ramsbottom,
We want to thank you for the care you have given us. You are always there when we need you and are extremely knowledgeable, empathetic, and have heart of gold. You helped us through the illness and death of daddy and the grieving afterwards. We are very blessed to have you in our lives not just as our physician but as a friend

I walked into his office to talk about joining his VIP practice. I was seeing an internist for a lingering horrible productive cough. Without an exam he looked at me and said you have pneumonia. Thanks to him at 76 I recovered. He is extremely responsive to questions and concerns, even calling on Sunday morning to give us results of test. He is the best!

Last year when we were on vacation in the mountains of N. Carolina, my husband was rushed to the hospital for respiratory problems. The very attentive doctor at the hospital contacted Dr. Ramsbottom immediately and was able to coordinate the care based on Dr. Ramsbottom's input of my husband's health history. Between the two of them, the hospital care moved forward attentively, and… See more
