LuAnn Aquino, MD, PhD

Our center provides a full range of general surgical care, with a special emphasis on laparoscopic, endoscopic and gastrointestinal surgery, surgical management of breast disease, surgical oncology, and wound management.

I was born in Japan and moved with my family to Colorado when I was 3 years old. Even at a young age, I found joy in helping others. Combined with my love and aptitude for science, that led me to pursue a career in medicine. \n My goal as a physician is to change my patients' lives for the better. I'm board-certified in family medicine, and have extensive training in preventive health and gynecology, and my clinical interests include heart disease and hypertension, mental health, diabetes, arthritis/joint pain and weight management. \n Outside the office, I enjoy running and baking. My husband, our two daughters and I also enjoy exploring the Lowcountry and all its natural wonders.
