About Dr. Mark Bechtel

“Heal the patient, not the problem. Listening to patients will lead to proper and long-lasting healing.”

Dr. Mark Bechtel, a board-certified osteopathic physician experienced in the practice of family medicine and urgent care, joined Beaufort Memorial Express Care & Occupational Health in 2020 following three years at CaroMont Urgent Care in Gastonia, North Carolina.

At the Express Care clinic in Beaufort, Dr. Bechtel treats patients with acute, non-life threatening illnesses and injuries. He also provides health services to employees of businesses participating in Beaufort Memorial’s Well at Work program.

Dr. Bechtel began his medical career in a primary care clinic in Pennsylvania before moving in 2006 to CaroMont Family Medicine in Lake Wylie, South Carolina. For nine years he volunteered at a free health care clinic for low-income families in nearby Clover, and he has participated in medical missions to Honduras, Peru, Haiti and Jamaica.

Earlier, Dr. Bechtel practiced in his hometown of Oley, Pennsylvania, while volunteering as a clinical instructor at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, his alma mater.

He and his wife, Christine, are the parents of two boys. Among his leisure interests are running; physical fitness; reading, especially history and mysteries; and baseball.

Dr. Bechtel was terrific. First, he listened! He showed genuine concern, and then came up with a quick plan of action by sending me directly to the hospital for more tests. He followed up as he said he would, calling me at home at 7:00 pm to provide further instruction and diagnosis. I would recommend him highly. My husband saw Dr. Bechtel once in the early days of covid, and he was just as terrific then. When he walked into my exam room, I already knew I was in good hands.

2nd time I've seen Dr. Bechtel in two months. I was very glad he was the doctor working at Urgent Care. He listens, a rare quality in a doctor. He asks questions so that he makes sure he understands what I am conveying. He is terrific, and the reason I drive to Port Royal for urgent care rather than going to Okatie, which is closer to my home.
