Terri Blackwell, PA-C

Before I became a physician assistant, I worked as an athletic trainer at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. For more than a decade, I helped keep UNC's elite national championship women's soccer and women's rowing teams strong, healthy and competitive. During that time, I also worked with a regional program designed to prepare girls for Olympic-caliber soccer. \n In my current role, I conduct new, follow-up and pre- and post-operative patient evaluations; develop treatment plans; order and interpret diagnostic testing; give injections; and assist in surgery. \n Before moving to the Lowcountry, I worked as a PA in Asheville, North Carolina.

Diana Axiotis, PA-C, provides bariatric and general surgery care in Goose Creek. She offers patient-centered, compassionate support before and after surgery, helping individuals achieve lasting health and confidence through personalized surgical care.

I pursued a career in medicine because I love helping patients design a tailored plan to meet their individual needs and goals, and I enjoy creatively solving problems. \n While serving in the Navy as an ob-gyn doctor and surgeon, I studied urogynecology with a fellowship-equivalent experienced physician at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. \n Sharing knowledge is something I'm passionate about, and teaching is an important component of what I do. I'm a teaching surgeon and lecturer for sacral neuromodulation implants for bowel and bladder incontinence (Medtronic's InterStim) and am on the clinical faculty at Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine and Memorial Health University Medical Center (OB-GYN residency training program in Savannah, Georgia) for urogynecology.\n I'm a double board-certified urogynecologist with over 20 years of experience in urogynecology and reconstructive pelvic surgery (the new official name of our subspecialty). I treat urinary and fecal incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, gynecologic reconstruction, recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs), overactive bladder, urinary urgency and frequency, painful intercourse, chronic constipation, advanced gynecology surgery needs, and more. \n In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two sons, and enjoying the beautiful city and natural coastal area around us in Charleston, South Carolina.
