I love that I get to use both my medical training and emotional intuition to really care for the whole person,” she said. “Having a practice in the Mount Pleasant community means everything to me,” stated Dr. DeCastro. “I grew up right here in Charleston and after serving in the U.S. Air Force as a physician, I knew I wanted to return home. Practicing in Mount Pleasant is personal. I’m not just a doctor here, I’m a neighbor. I see familiar faces every day and get to care for families in the same community that helped shape me. It’s incredibly meaningful to be able to give back and serve in a place that still feels like home, even with all the growth and change we’ve seen over the years.” To learn more about their services, visit premierhealth.cc/dr-justine-decastro. HOUSECALLS-MD Owner, medical director and president of HouseCalls-MD, Dr. Stela Susac-Pavic’s medical training at UNC-Chapel Hill paired with her roots in Croatia shaped her strong belief in patient-centered and relationship-driven care. Inspired by a desire to make health care more accessible and personal, she founded HouseCalls-MD in 2014. Marketing director Mary Rohaley said, “Because Mount Pleasant is where HouseCalls-MD began, it will always be our home base. While we’ve grown to serve the entire Tri-County area, as well as Georgetown and Horry counties, Mount Pleasant holds a special place in our hearts.” HouseCalls offers a level of personalized, compassionate care that’s hard to replicate in a traditional office setting, Rohaley said. She added, “One of the biggest advantages is limiting exposure to other illnesses, particularly important for patients who are immunocompromised or managing chronic health conditions. For older adults or individuals with mobility challenges, getting to a clinic can be stressful or even unsafe. By bringing care directly into the home or to senior communities, such as assisted living facilities, we remove those barriers and make it easier for patients to receive consistent, high-quality medical attention in a setting that’s familiar and comfortable.” “Families also benefit from house calls,” Rohaley explained. “They don’t have to take time off work or navigate complex transportation arrangements, and they’re often able to be more engaged in their loved one’s care when it happens in the home or care community.” “Another key benefit is time. There are no waiting rooms or rushed visits—our providers are able to spend meaningful, one-on-one time with each patient, resulting in deeper understanding, better communication and care that’s truly tailored to the individual. We don’t charge a monthly fee for access to our providers and accept most major insurances. Our mobile providers are equipped with nearly everything you’d find in a traditional office setting, from lab draws and EKGs to chronic care management and preventive screenings.” “Unlike large hospital systems where patients may see different providers at each visit, we offer consistency, continuity and a relationship built on trust. This deeper connection allows us to provide more individualized care and be more responsive to your needs,” Rohaley concluded. To learn more about their services, visit housecalls-md.com.
