Dr King is absolutely the best doctor I have been had. He always listens to everything I say and addresses all my concerns in a very caring manner. I would recommend him to everyone. His staff is also extremely caring and smart. Dr King and his entire team treat me like family and actually care about what happens to me.

Dr. King has settled a lawsuit from a medical malpractice case against him VERY EARLY IN THE LITIGATION. The Notice of Intent states that: “Dr. King was reckless and negligent…” In addition, “The medical care and treatment for PATIENT and her unborn child fell below the standard of medical care and directly led to the DEMISE OF THE UNBORN CHILD. DO YOUR RESEARCH. You can search the Horry County online court records to find the Notice of Intent and the lawsuit. Case #: 2017NI2600015

I would highly recommend Dr. King to anyone looking for a OB/GYN. He spent a lot of time with me going over various issues that I had. I feel lucky that I found him in SC.

I have worked in healthcare for over 30 years and feel that integrity is at the core of a medical professional. I have witnessed Dr. King advance his self-serving interest while remaining dismissive to the negative effects his actions has on others. Bottom line- He is self-serving. So much for "Do no harm".
