Dr. Newsome got to accept our office’s award this evening for 3rd place in the North Augusta Christmas parade float contest! So grateful for all she did to make our amazing float this past Christmas! Can’t wait to see what she envisions for the next parade!

There’s a really sweet black and brown dog that is hanging out at our office today. He has a collar and his nails are trimmed, so we definitely think he belongs to someone! Please share and let us know if anyone knows the owner!

As we say goodbye to 2025 and hello to 2026, we want to say thank you to all of our amazing staff and patients and their families! We’ve loved being a part of such a great community and have had such a great time with so many firsts like participating in Jack-O-Lantern Jubilee and the Christmas parade and starting new evening and weekend hours! We also gave out awards to each employee this month (as voted on by their peers). We had staff win awards ranging from “Most likely to be an Avenger” (Dr. Newsome) to “Most likely to move to Fiji (CMA Sam) to Most likely to save all the bugs” (PA Kathy) to “Most likely to let out a scream heard round the office when seeing a bug” (Referral specialist Jennifer). We have a great work family and really appreciate all they do to help the office run smoothly, efficiently, and compassionately. Here’s to the next amazing year!

Our evening and weekend clinic hours have been a tremendous success! We weren’t sure just how busy our office would be, but many of our patients have taken advantage of our new extended hours. Now, we are looking to add providers to our after hours team! Please share this post to spread the word!

We had a wonderful time at the Christmas parade today! Thank you to all our staff who came out to help! We wanted to give a special shoutout to Dr. Newsome. (If you were at the parade, she was the one dressed as Rex the dinosaur!) She has done some amazing work with both the parade and the Jack-O-Lantern Jubilee! She gave up so much of her time and energy to create everything you saw at both events from our office! Her creativity, drive, and vision for these events and for the community of North Augusta and all who live here is just incredible to see! We thank her for making this town an even better place to live and for being an amazing friend to everyone she meets!❤️❤️
