Originally from East Tennessee, I went to the University of Tennessee at Knoxville for undergrad and then attended PA school at MUSC several years later. I fell in love with the city of Charleston during PA school, and a few years after graduation I jumped at the opportunity to move back to Charleston and make my home here. When I am not working, I enjoy yoga, college football, spending time outdoors, and traveling to new destinations. I am happy to be providing patient-centered care in the Charleston community that comes directly to you!	Dan Fisher, D.O.
