Hi. I am a board certified Optometrist, graduating from Boston's New England College of Optometry in 2005. I
have always thought of Charleston as my home since I came here for undergraduate studies at College of
Charleston. Originally from Raleigh, NC I left the South for Boston and after four long, cold, snowy winters, my
wife and I moved back to Charleston. It took me a while to find my perfect practice but here I am at Lowcountry
Eye Care enjoying myself.
I spend my free time with my wife Mandy, daughters Anna and Grace, and dog Max who lives for the tennis
ball. We all love being outside and mostly spending time on the water.
Professionally my interests are seeing families and contact lens patients. I have thorough training for people of
all ages and also enjoy working with children.
Lowcountry Eye Care is a great practice because we are small enough to personally cater to all patients needs
but also provide exceptional care with state of the art technology. My staff and I like to get to know or patients
and treat their eyes not as a lone organ but as an integral part of their bodies.
I hope to see you soon,
Dr. Pitcavage
