Timothy Baynard Bristol Legare, MD, MS, RPVI

Dr. Korepta is an associate professor of vascular surgery. She joins MUSC from Loyola University Chicago Medical Center and previously Brigham and Women's Hospital. She has a strong interest in women's health and the treatment of aortic disease, carotid disease, hemodialysis access, and lower extremity venous and peripheral artery disease. She introduced new, minimally invasive outpatient venous and arterial procedures to the office-based setting in both her practices in Chicago and Boston and worked to establish a regional vein center of excellence. She has expertise in arteriovenous access creation and helped to grow a multi-disciplinary, outpatient based hemodialysis access center. She is focused on expanding outpatient based procedures in the management of venous disease, hemodialysis access, and peripheral artery disease as well as to continue to deliver innovative inpatient vascular care to further establish the MUSC Heart and Vascular Center as the premier location within the state for the management of complex vascular problems. In 2005, she received her Bachelor of Science in Biopsychology from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, MI. She worked as a research assistant in a Cholera vaccine development lab at Harvard Medical School, while attending the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, MA, from 2005 to 2007. Dr. Korepta completed her M.D. in 2017 from Michigan State University, College of Human Medicine, in Grand Rapids, MI, and returned to Harvard School of Public Health to complete a master’s degree in Clinical Effectiveness before joining the staff of Brigham and Women's Hospital as a vascular surgeon in 2017. Her training has been extensive and broad within vascular surgery from world-renowned surgeons. As a native of South Carolina, she is excited to return and bring new and innovative techniques for the treatment of vascular conditions to the Charleston area.

Adam Tanious, MD, MBA, MMSc is a faculty member of the MUSC Department of Surgery as an Associate Professor in the Division of Vascular Surgery. Since arriving to MUSC he has served as the associate program director of the vascular residency program and currently is the Medical Director of Vascular-Dialysis Access at MUSC Charleston.

A first generation immigrant, Dr. Li made South Carolina her first home when she arrived in the US at age 7. She now returns to start her faculty position at MUSC after completing both her general surgery residency and vascular surgery fellowship at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, a teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School in Boston, MA. She has trained with experts in managing complex aortic problems to bring advanced technologies to patients otherwise deemed non-operable by standard therapies. Her training institution also specialized in advanced limb preservation techniques in the treatment of peripheral arterial disease that reduced limb loss, skills which she now brings to MUSC. Academically, she is interested in health disparities and in applying knowledge gained from studying large databases and registries to individualize patient care. She also has a strong interest in quality improvement practices to understand why disparities exist and to optimize patient outcomes. She received her Bachelors in Electrical Engineering with a minor in Biomedical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and went on to do research at the Massachusetts General Hospital before attending Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta to complete her medical degree. During her training at BIDMC, she participated in extensive health services research with mentors at BIDMC and completed a Master’s in Public Health in Clinical Effectiveness at the Harvard School of Public Health. She is excited to be in Charleston and to provide up-to-date, quality care to the patients of this community.
