Beaufort Memorial Heart Specialists Adds Experienced Cardiologist Dr. Terry Grainger

Beaufort Memorial is expanding access to high-quality cardiac care in the Lowcountry with the addition of Dr. Terry Grainger, a board-certified cardiologist with more than 30 years of experience, to Beaufort Memorial Heart Specialists.

Dr. Grainger is board-certified in cardiovascular disease and fellowship-trained in cardiology. He’s now seeing patients in both Beaufort and Okatie, strengthening local access to expert cardiac care for residents across the region.

Bringing Experience to Lowcountry Cardiac Care

With more than three decades of clinical experience, Dr. Grainger diagnoses and treats a wide range of acute and chronic heart conditions, including:

• Congestive heart failure
• Hypertension (High blood pressure)
• Coronary heart disease

He is also highly experienced in preventive cardiology, working closely with patients to reduce risk factors through lifestyle changes and early intervention.

“Dr. Grainger is a valuable addition to our exceptional Heart Specialists team,” said Beaufort Memorial President and CEO Russell Baxley. “His expertise and commitment to compassionate cardiac care will be an asset to patients across the Lowcountry.”

Dr. Grainger knew early on that medicine was his calling. While in high school, he had the opportunity to shadow a surgeon at a local hospital and developed a strong interest in the field of cardiology. He earned his medical degree at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, then completed an internal medicine residency at Pitt County Memorial Hospital and a cardiology fellowship at East Carolina University of Medicine, both in Greenville, N.C.

Patient-Centered, Preventive Cardiology

Specializing in preventive cardiology, Dr. Grainger emphasizes long-term heart health through patient education, risk factor management and strong physician-patient relationships.

“I treat patients the way I want my own family to be treated,” he said, noting that building strong relationships with patients is one of the most rewarding aspects of his work.

In addition to coronary heart disease and congestive heart failure, Dr. Grainger’s clinical experience includes sleep and obesity medicine. He joins Beaufort Memorial from Prisma Health in Columbia, S.C., where he treated patients with a wide range of heart conditions and sleep disorders, including sleep apnea.

Dr. Grainger enjoys staying active and spending time with his wife Mary Ann, boating and fishing – both inshore and offshore.
