James Craigie, MD

Dr. James Craigie developed a passion for medicine early on, inspired by afternoons spent at the hospital with his father, a general surgeon. "I liked to go with him on call and see the things that he did," he recalls.

Following in his father's footsteps, Dr. Craigie has become a highly skilled and accomplished surgeon, performing approximately 100 breast reconstruction surgeries each year. He also handles many of the second and third stage procedures that are standard in breast reconstruction. His constant goal is to employ state-of-the-art surgical techniques to achieve the best possible outcomes for his patients.

Before joining our practice, Dr. Craigie established a general plastic surgery practice in North Carolina. He also completed advanced training in micro-vascular breast reconstruction with Dr. Robert Allen in New Orleans. He is one of a select few doctors who can perform these specialized procedures, which are considered the "gold standard" in the field of breast reconstruction. "To do this complicated surgery, you have to have extensive training and a strong commitment," Dr. Craigie explains. "We saw a real need for this procedure, that many women could be helped."

Dr. Craigie resides on James Island, SC, with his wife and two children.
