Drs. Bowers and Wood adding to the depth of the Gibbs group

Two respected local oncologists will be treating cancer patients as part of the Gibbs Cancer Center team. Samuel Wood, M.D. and Charles Bowers, M.D. will be welcoming current patients and accepting new patients at their office at North Grove Medical Park.

“I have been a part of this community for a long time, and have known the physicians at Gibbs during that time. This move will be beneficial to patient care,” stated Dr. Bowers.

Dr. Wood agrees “I am proud to be part of the Gibbs Cancer Center. I’m excited to be joining a center that provides comprehensive, state of the art care locally.”

“We are thrilled to have both of these fine physicians join our team,” stated Dr. James Bearden, of Gibbs Cancer Center. “We pride ourselves on offering the very best evidence-based medicine and latest clinical trials available anywhere. Dr. Bowers and Dr. Wood exemplify these ideals. Ultimately, we want patients in our region to receive comprehensive care in their own community. This will help us achieve what is best for patients.”

Both Dr. Bowers and Dr. Wood have practiced in Spartanburg for several years, treating patients from throughout the Upstate.  Now that they are part of the Gibbs Cancer Center team, patients can reach them by calling 864-278-1402.
