Morgan Windham

I have been practicing in Pediatrics as a DNP for 7 years now. I completed my undergraduate studies at Clemson and received my Masters and Doctorate in Nursing Practice at MUSC. When not working I enjoy spending time with my husband, our daughter and our extended family. We love to spend time together on Lake Wateree. Some of my other passions are cooking, watching home improvement and cooking shows, and riding my Peloton.

Sava Patel, Physician Assistant

I graduated from the Medical University of South Carolina in 2023 and received my college degree from USC (go Gamecocks!). Pediatrics became my main interest after experiencing the enthusiasm and liveliness that children not only brought to me but also brought out in me. I most look forward to getting to know families and watching them grow together. Outside of work, I enjoy playing Bingo and dancing with my niece and nephew, hiking and walking on trails, and baking any kind of dessert!
