Whole Heart Family Medicine

"I cannot say enough good things about this practice, and Tara Hughes. I am so thankful I found this place. I have been going there, for three years. This past year has been medically challenging. Tara has been there every step of the way. Treating me with empathy, compassion and knowledge. Every time I see a specialist, I always see Tara after to make sure she agrees with their treatment and to give other suggestions as well. I don’t feel like just another patient, I feel like a person and that she truly knows me. I don’t know how I would have got through this past year without her help. I am so thankful to have her as my PCP."

"I was very please to start seeing Dr. Carey McNamara again! She was my doctor when I was younger and I always enjoyed and was pleased with the care she provided. Her practice goes above and beyond to meet insurance requirements for medications and tests that you may need. I have Tricare and they have tons of hoops to jump through. I am FINALLY feeling like myself again after getting the blood work she suggested and getting on the correct medications and making the necessary lifestyle changes. I also had to see Dr. Tara Hughes for a follow up appointment and was very please with her as well. I was there for a medication follow up but I actually was not feeling well and she took notice and diagnosed me correctly. I went to a local urgent care a few days earlier who misdiagnosed me and I got worse. Dr. Hughes got me on the right medications and I was feeling better in no time! Thank you, Dr. Carey McNamara & team!"

"Tara Hughes and the staff we have interacted with has been a very positive experience. We never feel rushed and feel our concerns are always met. They do more labs than many other primary providers to detect health problems before they lead to more serious issues. Insurance covers all costs. My daughter, husband, and I all go to this practice. My daughter sees Carey and is very impressed with her. We love that there are such caring practitioners in the Charleston area and highly recommend them."

"I've just started care with Whole Heart Family and have seen both Tara and Carey for care. They are both great practitioners who listen to what their patients have to say, do not cut you off, pass judgement or force you into something you aren't comfortable with. They explain in detail your condition and how it is caused as well as answering any questions you have during treatment and on the portal. I feel supported by their staff and hopeful."

"I am so grateful for Carey and her team. I had an urgent issue and I called the office, left a message, and had a telemedicine appointment set up within two hours. The team is compassionate and they practice good ol’ fashion medicine that emphasizes the patient relationship. You don’t see that very much anymore and certainly not in the medical field. I was taken care of and provided the very best and the most up to date treatment for my care. Carey is very thorough, she is up to date on the latest data/research and treatment options, and takes the time to personalize her treatment plans to your needs. I am so thankful for Whole Heart Family Medicine!!"
