About Dr. Scott Cummings
"I love being a physician and getting to know my patients. They all have such an interesting life story and I enjoy getting a glimpse of it. They are very much like family and I always try to treat them that way."
As a Beaufort Memorial Express Care provider, Dr. Scott Cummings can treat minor, non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries for children and adults of all ages.
He examines and treats patients for a variety of minor ailments, orders on-site imaging and lab testing and prescribes medications and treatments. If necessary, Dr. Cummings will refer the patient to a medical specialist for continuing or more extensive care.
If a patient has a new patient appointment scheduled with a Beaufort Memorial primary care provider and needs medication refills prior to their appointment, Dr. Cummings will be happy to perform medication checks and provide a stop-gap prescription.
Dr. Cummings includes among his professional interests disease prevention and wellness and biochemical research. Several of his research-related articles have appeared in peer-reviewed journals.
Background
An Indiana native raised in Virginia, Dr. Cummings has more than three decades of experience, practicing internal medicine at a local primary and urgent care clinic before founding Beaufort Memorial Palmetto Medical Group in 2008. Earlier, he was an emergency medical services physician and section chief at medical centers in Virginia and Georgia. From 1992 to 1995 he served as an assistant professor in the Department of Internal Medicine at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville.
Dr. Cummings and his wife, Wendy, who have five children, chose the Lowcountry for the boating, fishing, hunting and tennis opportunities it affords their family. Active in their church, Cummings family members all take part in domestic and international mission work, including on an annual trip to Belize.
