About
- Highly experienced, skilled and respected, Dr. Edward Blocker has provided orthopaedic care to patients in Beaufort for more than 20 years. He came to Lowcountry Medical Group from orthopaedic residency in 1998 and joined Beaufort Memorial Orthopaedic Specialists in 2009.As a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon specializing in total replacement of the hip and knee, he stays proficient in leading-edge surgical techniques with the best evidence of precision fitting of total joint implants and implant longevity.Although total joint replacement is his primary focus, he also includes shoulder and knee arthroscopy, maladies of the upper extremity and trauma among his professional interests.Growing up in Charleston, Dr. Blocker was influenced by both his grandfathers, one an orthopaedic surgeon, the other a carpenter. By the age of 7, he already knew that he, too, wanted to be an orthopaedic surgeon. “I like working with my hands and using them to help solve my patients’ problems,” he says.College sweethearts, Dr. Blocker and his wife, Tami, have a son and two daughters. He is an avid outdoorsman whose hunting and fishing supply the family table year-round with game and fish.
