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

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.

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Ramsbottom
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.

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

Dr. Ramsbottom is a kind and attentive doctor. I have know him for a long time and his patience with us is always appreciated. He is right so much of the time, his experience shines through. He is helping me manage a chronic situation and I so appreciate his willingness to stand by me. He seems to know just exactly how to treat a situation.
