Robert Wadley, M.D.

Robert Wadley, M.D. was born in Myrtle Beach, S.C. and graduated from The College of Charleston and earned his Doctorate of Medicine from the Medical University of South Carolina in 1984. Because of a family military tradition and financial need, Dr. Wadley won an Army scholarship to help pay for medical school. While he was in the Army for 8 years he became board certified in Anesthesiology and served in locations such as San Antonio, TX., San Francisco, CA., and Seoul, Korea. He was also assigned to the 8th Evacuation Hospital in Saudi Arabia during The First Gulf War. After practicing anesthesiology for 18 years, he decided to follow his heart and do a one year pain medicine fellowship at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Mi. “ I was at mid career and this very challenging program was just what I needed to launch me into the second half of my career.” Dr. Wadley’s heart was still in the South, so he decided to raise his young family in the best state in the country, North Carolina. “This is where I will raise my family and finish my career.”
