A Sandlapper from Day One, Dr. Osbon was born in the upstate of South Carolina and was fortunate to grow up at the foot of the mountains in Greenville County, enjoying an idyllic childhood exploring the creeks, mountains, and forests that blanket our state. He attended Blue Ridge High School and then matriculated at Wofford College and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in biology. He found himself in the ROTC program after attending Airborne School at Fort Benning, Georgia and became a paratrooper. For the next four years, he was on active duty and was stationed as a Medical Service Corps officer at the military medical school in Bethesda, Maryland. Finding that he had time and restless intellectual energy, he enrolled in the graduate program at The Johns Hopkins University and received a Master’s degree in biotechnology and genetics in 1998. He realized that he should either pursue a Ph.D. in genetics or apply to medical school, ultimately chose the latter, and enrolled at the Medical University of South Carolina. He chose emergency medicine as his specialty and went on to train in residency at Palmetto Health Richland in Columbia.
Dr. Osbon founded Oasis Hyperbarics in 2007 and opened a hyperbaric oxygen facility in early 2008 and merged with East Cooper Medical Center two years later to bring into one place everything we would need for state-of-the-art wound care.
