Coastal Pediatric Associates is thrilled to announce the affiliation of two new physicians: Dr. Drew Baker and Dr. Kara Huncik.
Dr. K. Drew Baker grew up in Vienna, Virginia and attended Hampden-Sydney College. After graduation from the Medical College of Virginia, he completed his pediatric residency at the Medical University of South Carolina. Over the past 16 years, he has had the opportunity to practice in a variety of clinical settings. He was involved in academic medicine as an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Emory University, worked in private practice, and served in a not-for-profit clinic for children in Appalachia.
Dr. Baker is certified by the American Board of Pediatrics and is a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics. His medical interests include child advocacy, medical provider education, and newborn care.
Dr. Huncik attended college and medical school at the University of Tennessee. After completing her training at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC), Dr. Blevens joined our team to become the Medical Director of the MUSC Medically Fragile Children's Program (MFCP).
The MUSC Medically Fragile Children's Program represented a successful collaboration among MUSC, Coastal Pediatric Associates, and the State of South Carolina to provide comprehensive care, to children with complicated medical issues, in a medical home format. Since the closing of MFCP in March of 2009, Dr. Huncik joined our team full-time and is seeing patients in both our West Ashley and East Cooper locations.
Dr. Huncik is certified by the American Board of Pediatrics and is a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics.
