SC My Care

SC My Care operates as a concierge medicine practice in Lexington, South Carolina, where Dr. Cooper, MD, leads a team providing primary care, medical weight loss, hormone optimization, and medical aesthetics under one roof. Recognized as Best of Lexington Concierge Medicine Service 2026, Best of Lexington Internal Medicine 2025, and Best of Lexington Medical Spa 2024, the practice integrates functional and integrative medicine principles into chronic disease management and preventive care. Patients access their care team via text and benefit from extended appointment times and same-day or next-day availability, distinguishing this model from traditional primary care offices in the Lexington area.

The medical weight loss program centers on semaglutide therapy, a GLP-1 receptor agonist peptide that regulates appetite and glucose metabolism. Dr. Cooper and the nursing staff conduct comprehensive metabolic assessments before initiating treatment, monitor patients throughout the protocol, and adjust dosing based on individual response and tolerance. This peptide-based approach is combined with nutritional counseling and lifestyle modification support, addressing the underlying metabolic factors that contribute to weight gain and difficulty losing weight. Patients receive ongoing communication with the care team between visits, ensuring timely adjustments and support throughout their weight loss journey.

Dr. Cooper brings board certification in internal medicine to the practice, applying evidence-based protocols to hormone therapy for both men and women experiencing symptoms of hormonal imbalance. Hormone replacement programs include bioidentical hormone pellets, topical formulations, and injectable options tailored to lab results and symptom profiles. The practice also manages chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, thyroid disorders, and metabolic syndrome within the concierge framework, allowing for more frequent monitoring and proactive intervention than standard insurance-driven models permit. Medical aesthetics services complement the clinical offerings, providing treatments that address skin health, volume loss, and signs of aging under physician supervision.

Patients at SC My Care in Lexington schedule in-person consultations at the clinic, where they meet with Dr. Cooper or a nurse practitioner for initial evaluations that typically last 45 to 60 minutes. The intake process includes detailed health history review, physical examination, laboratory testing, and discussion of treatment goals. For weight loss and hormone therapy patients, follow-up visits occur monthly or as clinically indicated, with lab work repeated at regular intervals to track progress and ensure safety. The concierge membership structure provides direct access to the care team via text messaging for questions, prescription refills, and urgent concerns, reducing the need for emergency room visits or walk-in clinics for non-emergent issues.

SC My Care serves patients throughout Lexington County and the greater Columbia, South Carolina region who seek a more personalized and accessible alternative to traditional primary care. The practice accepts new patients for concierge memberships, which include annual wellness exams, chronic disease management, acute care visits, and coordination with specialists when needed. Medical weight loss and hormone therapy programs are available as standalone services or integrated into comprehensive primary care memberships. The clinic's location in Lexington provides convenient access for residents of West Columbia, Irmo, Chapin, and surrounding communities seeking physician-led integrative care with an emphasis on metabolic health and preventive medicine.
