\n<\/strong>So, by the way, how long have you been working here?<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>I\u2019ve been at Chapin Pediatrics I guess, three years this April, so two and half years.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>What was it that compelled you to want to be here, because were you working in another practice previously?<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>I was in a practice in Rock Hill and thinking that it was my life and we set ourselves there. Our family had kinda set roots there. Dr. Bonnett, Luke, Luke & I had grown up together and so we had talked throughout the years about trying to make things work and it just never panned out the way either of us really wanted. Finally we got to that point where he just called me up and made a real offer and it was just too much to let go, to big of an offer to let go. It was one of those things where I was happy doing what I was doing but not happy where I was. What he has created here at Chapin Pediatrics is a fabulous environment to work in. It\u2019s a combination of being who you are with a religious flair. You’re able to express yourself the way you want, you know, in a Christian manner. I didn’t have that before and it really meant a lot to me because that’s who I am. Part of who I am as a practitioner is a faithful person. Religion is very much part of my life. My Christian faith is very much part of my life and I wanted to be able to use it on a daily basis and use it as an example of caring for my patients. The work environment here and how he\u2019s created it\u00a0has\u00a0been just a fabulous thing for me!<\/p>\n
\nNow you guys knew each other from what age?<\/p>\n
\nOh we go way back. Maybe elementary school? We basically grew up together. We come from the same high school and grew up through school together. We did different things like scouting and things like that as we grew up in life. So we have known each other for a long time. I think the latter part of the relationship was probably more true. I mean being from Orangeburg, where we came from, you know everybody, you kind of get to know everybody. So we knew each other for a long time, but I think, from a relationship standpoint, it was probably as we got a little older that we became true friends and developed respect for each other because of who we were and what we did. I think probably the pinnacle of that relationship was when we worked together at a lumber yard one summer before we got out on our own in life. It was a good experience.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image source=”featured_image” img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
