Upon moving to SC, we were most concerned about how we were going to make sure we were going know what medical services to use. We had had wonderful healthcare services in the Northeast.

Over and over, we heard just amazing praises about Dr. Michael Book.… See more

I am 77yrs old and had never really been to a doctor before, except when I had my babies. I grew up in a home where food was medicine and sauerkraut was the treatment from sore throats to stomach aches. Not all bad but.......

It all began with a somber diagnosis that shook the foundation of our lives. My husband, Denis, faced the battle of his life, and Dr. Book emerged as a guiding light during these dark times. His compassion was… See more

from Marian Dee in SC January 18, 2024 for Michael R. Book, MD

One morning very early my husband woke me up saying he thought he was having a heart attack and asked me to drive him to the hospital. I wanted to call 911 but he did not. I called Dr Michael Book at 6 45 in the morning and he talked to my husband and said do not let her drive you call 911. He also called MUSC and told them we were on our way which made everything so much easier for us when we… See more

from Katherine in SC January 18, 2024 for Michael R. Book, MD

Had an issue that was not resolved elsewhere. I called my PCP, Dr. Michael Book and he managed to get me an appointment with specialist very quickly. The health issue is being resolved. Good follow up from his office as well.

from Marsha in SC March 21, 2023 for Michael R. Book, MD

Dr Michael Book has taken care of my husband and me for over a decade. While there are many accolades I could expound on, Dr Book’s attribute that best defines him is that he is never satisfied.. Whether it is lowering my husband’s cholesterol, detecting reasons behind my osteoporosis or constantly monitoring the opportunities for new drugs, Dr Book is proactive. He looks at all alternatives… See more
