Dr. Edward Lattimore
Dr. Edward Lattimore is a graduate of Furman University and the Medical University
of South Carolina. He completed an OB/GYN residency at Greenville Hospital System
and has more than 25 years of experience practicing obstetrics and gynecology
in the Upstate.
Dr. Lattimore founded Oaktree Ob-Gyn as a solo practitioner more than 22 years
ago in Mauldin. While he had offers to practice in other locations across the
country, he had his heart set on staying in the Upstate. He wanted to start a
new practice that catered to the specific needs of each patient in an area that
he felt was underserved in the medical community at the time.
In his early days at Oaktree, Dr. Lattimore hired a highly-qualified staff, offered
childbirth classes and patient education and was even known to make house calls.
He had a strong interest in fertility issues and allowed his employees to gain
expertise through continuing their education about childbirth preparation and
surgical assistance, and obtaining certification in infertility issues.
In 1989, he built a larger office on Woodruff Road and changed the name of the
practice to Greenville East Center for Women. At that time, he added partners
that shared his vision of personalized care. In 2007, Greenville East partnered
with the former Carolina Center for Women’s Health to create the new Carolina
Women’s Health.
Twenty-seven years and 6,000 delivered babies later, Dr. Lattimore has witnessed
many changes in healthcare but stays true to his original mission to provide patient-focused
care.
Dr. Lattimore is a member of First Baptist Church, where he has served as a deacon
and participated in foreign missions. He is married to Gigi, and they have six
daughters and one grandson. “Captain Doctor Ed” enjoys spending his free time
with his wife restoring and traveling on their boat the “Glenna Gene,” and refurbishing
classic cars.
Dr. Lattimore is a Fellow of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology,
and a member of the American Society of Reproductive Medicine and the Society
of Laparoscopic Surgeons among many other professional societies.
