W. Melvin Brown III, MD

Owner, Physician

A Charleston native, Dr. Brown is proud to bring his medical expertise home to the community where he grew up and currently resides. He graduated from the Naval Academy with a BS in General Engineering before embarking on six years of service as a Surface Warfare Officer. Driven by a passion for medicine, he then attended the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC). After initial training in pediatrics, Dr. Brown transitioned to Emergency Medicine, serving with the Navy in various capacities, including deployments on ships, in hospitals, and with combat troops in Afghanistan.

Retiring from the Navy in 2015, Dr. Brown returned to Charleston and practiced Emergency Medicine until the end of the COVID pandemic. Disillusioned with the standard healthcare model, he sought a more meaningful and connected approach, leading him to primary care through the concierge model at CharlestonMD. Dr. Brown is deeply committed to his community and actively works to improve healthcare delivery in South Carolina through his service on the Board of Trustees for MUSC. Married with two adult children, he enjoys spending Sundays cooking gourmet meals for his family.
