Liz Vandyke Freer, PA-C
Liz grew up in Hanover, PA, not far from Hershey Chocolate Factory. She moved to Virginia to go to school at University of Virginia for her undergraduate degrees in Fine Art with a Photography Concentration, and a second degree in Art History. After graduation, she moved to Charleston, SC to pursue a photography internship at Charleston Magazine. After living in Charleston for a year, and falling in love with the culinary scene, she decided to elevate her love of eating to a love of cooking. She attended the Culinary Institute of Charleston for degrees in Culinary and Pastry Arts. Liz continued to work in many downtown Charleston kitchens before moving toward a more entrepreneurial path of private chef and event caterer.
Having done many medical mission trips when younger, Liz had always had an interest in the art of Medicine. While catering on the side, she returned to school to get the necessary prerequisites to apply to MUSC PA school. She graduated in 2016 with a Master of Physician Assistant studies, and since then has held positions in Allergy and Immunology, Urgent Care, and then found her place in Cosmetic Injecting and Aesthetics. As an artist, it was the best of both worlds. She has been practicing as an injector for over two years prior to finding her place at Plastic Surgery of the Carolinas. We are excited to have her on our team!
When not in the office, Liz loves to spend time outside: surfing, beaching, yoga, pickleball, and golf. She loves going to see live music with friends, and spending time with her rescue dog, Kaia, going on walks and to the park. She still loves photography and cooking, and if you’re lucky, you might catch her on a day she baked cookies for the office.
