LOCAL BUSINESS
Most of us trust our doctors, and most of the time that trust is well placed. But when a diagnosis is missed, a surgery goes wrong, or an infection follows a hospital stay, the questions can be hard to answer on your own. McGowan, Hood, Felder & Phillips handles medical malpractice cases across South Carolina, from an office here on Shem Drive. You deserve straight answers, and the first conversation is free.

Shem Creek, after the clocks change
Here's the upside of 5:25 sunsets: you can catch one on the creek and still be home for dinner. Our Shem Creek guide has where to eat and drink on the water and what to do between meals, all in one place. Save it for the next time someone visiting asks where to go.
