Beaufort Memorial welcomes familiar face back to clinical team

Nikki Keisler, M.D., a board-certified family medicine specialist broadly experienced in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic illness, has joined Beaufort Memorial Palmetto Medical Group in Bluffton.

Dr. Keisler first came to Beaufort Memorial May River Primary Care in 2019. In order to be closer to family, she left in 2022 to join Piedmont Physicians at Thomas Crossroads Family Medicine in Newnan, Georgia, but decided to return when the lure of the Lowcountry proved too strong.

Earlier she had served as a family medicine specialist at Palmetto Health-USC Medical Group and other primary care practices in the Sandhills region. A native of Fort Stewart, Georgia, she earned a Doctor of Medicine from the University of South Carolina School of Medicine in Columbia and completed a residency in family medicine at Palmetto Health Richmond Family Medicine Residency (now Prisma Health Richland Hospital), also in Columbia.

At Beaufort Memorial Palmetto Medical Group, Dr. Keisler joins Drs. Scott Cummings and Robert Smith, physician assistants Stephanie Lovato and Erica Roper, and nurse practitioner Jennifer Stokes. The practice offers a full range of general outpatient medical care with an emphasis on wellness and on chronic disease management. Laboratory services are available on-site.

To schedule an appointment with Dr. Keisler or any of the practice’s other providers, call 843-706-0600.
