About
Dr. Cliff Bowers, DO, founded Carolina Health & Aesthetics in Duncan, SC in 2021. He earned his undergraduate degree from Wofford College and went on to complete his medical training at the University of Pikeville, Kentucky College of Osteopathic Medicine. He also trained at Emory University, broadening his clinical foundation before entering practice.
Dr. Bowers spent years as an Army Field Surgeon, including service in a combat zone. He also built deep experience as an emergency medicine specialist and as a family doctor in a small rural town. Those years shaped his conviction that genuine care starts with truly knowing a patient. Described by those who know him as part crusader, part comedian, he brings both clinical rigor and real warmth to every visit. He focuses on family medicine, preventive care, chronic disease management, hormone therapy, ADHD, and medical weight loss. Outside the clinic, Dr. Bowers and his wife Laura share four adult children, two cats, and two dogs: Stella the bossy Bernese Mountain Dog, who occasionally greets patients at the door or rides along on house calls, and Sadie, a black Labrador puppy.
