Meet Dr. Curtis J. Elam and Nurse Practitioner Melissa Mesenburg

Let’s start with Dr. Curtis J. Elam, an accomplished obstetrician and gynecologist. With years of experience under his belt, Dr. Elam specializes in general, routine, and skilled obstetrical and gynecological care for women at every stage of life.

What’s remarkable is his extensive expertise in laparoscopic and robotic surgeries. He’s notably skilled in pelvic floor reconstruction as well as treating stress urinary incontinence using both slings and sutures.

Before joining Beaufort Memorial, Dr. Elam served as the staff physician and department head at the Clyburn Center for Primary Care, along with being an OBGYN staff physician at Aiken Regional Medical Center. His wealth of experience certainly positions him as a valuable asset to the Beaufort community.
