We Take Care of You for Life!

Lowcountry Women’s Specialists is a privately-run, independently-owned OBGYN practice serving the Lowcountry for nearly 30 years. Our team of administrators, medical professionals and our practice’s 8 physicians – Dr. Christopher Accetta, Dr. Martha Cohen, Dr. Jennifer Heinemann, Dr. Christine Hunter, Dr. Ronnie Givens, Dr. William “Bo” Reeves, Dr. Heather Schwartzberg, and Dr. Hunter Smith – are deeply committed to our patients and our community. Responding to the changing needs of our patients and introducing the latest, proven technology and practices, while maintaining a family-like atmosphere is a priority for us. We take care of you for life. As your healthcare needs change over time – from yearly checkups and contraception to pregnancies and, eventually, menopause – we’re here to serve you.

We serve patients at locations in Carnes Crossroads, North Charleston and Summerville. We proudly deliver babies at the newly-renovated Women and Children’s Center at Summerville Medical Center and the new Roper Saint Francis Berkeley Hospital. We are grateful to the readers of The Summerville Journal Scene,The Berkeley Independent, and The Post and Courier for voting us Best OBGYN by for consecutive years.

Due to the new guidelines limiting gatherings of 10 or more people, all CenteringPregnancy meetings are postponed. If you are a current member of a Centering group, you will be contacted this week to schedule an appointment with your main provider.

We will keep you updated as the Covid-19 guidelines continue to develop, and will resume Centering groups as soon as it is possible.
