(6/27/11) – McLeod Physician Associates and McLeod Medical Center Dillon are pleased to announce that Rebecca J. Craig, M.D. has joined McLeod OB/GYN Dillon.

Dr. Craig received her degree in medicine from Meharry Medical College, Nashville, TN, in 2002. She completed an OB/GYN Residency in 2006 at Tulane University School of Medicine in New Orleans, LA

During undergraduate studies, Dr. Craig received a Bachelor’s Degree in Biological Sciences at Florida International University, Tamiami, FL.

"At medical school, during my first rotation in Obstetrics, when I saw my first delivery I knew this would be my life’s work," recalled Dr. Craig. "It’s very exciting to be even a small part of the beginning of a new life. I am equally interested in the health of women of all ages. OB/GYN allows me to educate young patients on birth control and preventative medicine so they can maintain good health.

"It is important to me to build a good rapport with my patients," she continued. "I am interested in encouraging women to become more informed about their health and preventative care."

Dr. Craig enjoys practicing medicine in a small town and looks forward to becoming a member of the McLeod Dillon team. "In Dillon, I was greeted with a warm welcome, which made me feel at home," she said. "McLeod Dillon has a long, established history in the community and it offers a wide range of services. McLeod Dillon is fortunate to have McLeod Regional Medical Center, Florence, SC, as part of their health network. This affiliation offers a continuum of care for any additional services my patients might need," she said. "The staff at McLeod Dillon is grounded in the community and show a real interest in serving their neighbors."

Dr. Craig is a member of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the American Medical Association.

Dr. Craig grew up in Jamaica with artistic parents. "My father is an artist, my mother a writer. Although I chose sciences, I have a strong appreciation for all the arts," she said.

Dr. Craig and her husband will be relocating to Dillon from Americus, GA, where she most recently practiced Obstetrics and Gynecology (OB/GYN) with a local healthcare organization.

McLeod OB/GYN Dillon is located in the McLeod Dillon Professional Building at 705 N. 8th Avenue, Suite 3B, Dillon, SC. For additional information or to schedule an appointment, please call (843) 841-3825.
