About Ms. Stephanie Lovato
“My philosophy centers on identifying and addressing health concerns early, promoting long-term wellness and reducing the need for medications whenever possible.”
At Beaufort Memorial Marshview Primary Care, board-certified physician assistant Stephanie Lovato specializes in primary care, preventive medicine and helping patients take a proactive approach to their health.
She offers a broad range of primary care services, including the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic illnesses in adults and children age 14 and older, working closely with specialists to ensure patients receive comprehensive, coordinated care.
Areas of Expertise
- Adult Primary Care — A relationship with a single care provider who takes an active role in maintaining a patient’s optimal health by conducting regular physicals and screenings, providing routine preventive care and managing chronic disease.
- Preventive Care — Routine health care that includes screenings, check-ups and patient counseling to prevent diseases and detect them early, when they may be easier to treat.
- Lifestyle Modification — Altering long-term habits and establishing new behaviors around such daily activities such as eating and exercise.
- Hypertension — Elevated blood pressure that over time can cause the heart to work overtime and pump harder, possibly leading to heart attack, stroke, heart failure or kidney failure.
- Family Medicine — A branch of medicine delivering primary care to patients of any age, providing preventive care and treatment of a wide range of nonemergency diseases and conditions.

Background
Passionate about her whole-person approach to wellness, Ms. Lovato has an extensive background in primary care in the Lowcountry. In her early career, she worked in a dual primary care/urgent care practice on Hilton Head Island, where she managed acute medical conditions, developed a base of procedural skills and performed occupational exams for the U.S. Coast Guard.
A native of Albuquerque, New Mexico, Ms. Lovato has called the Lowcountry home since 1991 and joined Beaufort Memorial Palmetto Medical Group in 2012, transitioning to Marshview Primary Care on Hilton Head Island in September 2026.
