STEPHEN C. BUSBY, MD REVIEWS

Dr Busby is an exceptional physician. He has great training and knowledge, compassion and excellent listening skills. He spends the time necessary to find out what the issue is, spends more than ample time diagnosing, and provides viable and well-thought-out solutions. He is also affable and has a sense of humor, which is often an integral factor dealing with medical issues.

I have been seeing Dr. Busby for many years now. He addresses my health issues, takes time to discuss options, and is just a great person. He is interested in what is going on in my life and spends appropriate amount of time with me as his patient. Excellent doctor. In fact, my 93 yo old mother’s doctor asked who I was seeing and said good things about Dr. Busby.

Dr Busby is the most observant person I have ever met. He doesn’t miss a trick! His analysis of symptoms is spot on. He literally saved my life with his razor sharp diagnosis. ( this from a 26 year former FBI Agent). His staff is efficient and effective yet, they treat you like family. Awesome doctor and staff!.

DOUGLAS GLEATON, MD REVIEWS

I've been seeing Dr Gleaton since my doctor retired and Dr gleaton took over his practice. I truly wouldn't see any other Dr, he's not only super nice but very Profesional cares about all your needs.

Dr Gleaton and his staff go beyond for you. I love the fact that Dr Gleaton takes the time and really listen to his patients, about their medical life and what's going on in their personal lives. If I was able to rate higher I would. Thank you Dr Gleaton and your staff for caring.

Dr Gleaton is attentive, mindful and knowledgeable. Seems he is focused on the patient's well-being rather than his bottom line.

PATRICK S. LOVEGROVE, DO REVIEWS

I have been going to Merge Medical for several years, and I am very pleased. Dr. Lovegrove always takes his time with me and is very patient with all my questions. Nancy and the other office staff are very friendly and eager to assist me whenever I need something. I have an autoimmune disease, and it’s so nice to be with a doctor who does so much more than just treat my symptoms. I feel so much better and sleep better from following the protocol that Dr. Lovegrove recommended for me. I am very thankful to have found Merge Medical when I moved to Charleston.

I've had an incredible experience so far. I went to Dr. Lovegrove and his team for help in managing my ADD and general health, but I feel like I've been able to reclaim so much more. My stomach doesn't bother me like it did prior to my first consultation, I've lost 40 lbs since October 10th, I'm no longer feeling lower back back pain and my ADD doesn't slow me down the same way as it did two months ago. I still have a long way to go, but I have complete confidence in Merge Medical to help get me to the healthiest version of myself possible. Thank you Dr. Lovegrove. You and your staff have helped me get my life back!.

To say that Dr. Lovegrove's care has been transformative is an understatement. I struggled with health issues for years, each of the symptoms relatively minor but taken as a whole were debilitating. Within six weeks of simply adjusting the foods I eat and taking a small number of supplements, all of these issues have been eliminated and I can feel my body healing itself from a lifetime of thinking the standard American diet is healthy. The improvement in every aspect of my health has been nothing less than miraculous. For decades, every other doctor I had would simply say stay away from rich foods and prescribe medicine, most of which had little effect and now I understand could actually compound the problems. Dr. Lovegrove quickly identified the specific issues which caused these systemic problems and offered solutions that did not require medication.
