Summary

  • Educated initially at Furman University, Michael Overcash, MPAS, PA-C, DSDPA, DFAAPA completed two additional degrees at the Medical University of South Carolina and the University of Nebraska College of Medicine. The latter degree included a capstone thesis project in biologics. His specialty training in immunology has proven valuable as he is now a key opinion leader in the evolving landscape of therapeutics in medical dermatology.

He has been voted Best Dermatologist for Charleston and Berkeley, Charleston’s Choice, Healthcare Hero, and PA of the Year.

    Overcash is fluent in 3 languages and leads medical projects and mission teams several times a year, now having served in over 50 different countries. He was a founding board member of One World Health, which has provided care for over a million lives in developing nations. He chose dermatology specifically for the purpose of providing life-changing surgeries around the globe for those who have no access to quality specialty care.
    Michael enjoys the outdoors, especially surfing and snowboarding with his wife Kristen (PA, pediatrics) and 4 school-age children. He is passionate about providing the best care possible for his patients and positively impacting others whenever possible.
