Southeast Georgia Health System is pleased to welcome obstetrician and gynecologist (OB/GYN)
Trace Deighan, MD, and his wife, general surgeon
Diana Peterman, MD, to the
Southeast Georgia Physician Associates team.
In 2015, Deighan and Peterman met in Augusta at the Medical College of
Georgia. The two began spending time together during their medical school
rotations in Savannah and at the
Health System’s Brunswick Campus. After medical school, they moved to South Carolina and began their medical
residency programs. While falling in love with medicine, the couple also
fell in love with each other. Deighan proposed while on a hike in the
North Carolina mountains, and by 2020, they had tied the knot.
Fortunately for the Golden Isles, Brunswick became more than a waypoint
for the talented doctor duo, as the two have returned to Brunswick to
start their careers. Deighan has joined
Southeast Georgia Physician Associates-Obstetrics & Gynecology and Peterman has joined
Southeast Georgia Physician Associates-General & Vascular Surgery.
Deighan treats women of all ages for a variety of OB/GYN needs including
routine office visits and maternity care. As a way to better serve his
patients, he completed an additional year of advanced gynecologic surgery
fellowship training. He is passionate about serving others and helping
his patients live life to the fullest. “Being someone’s OB/GYN
is a true blessing. For someone to have the trust in you to take care
of her (and potentially her future child) at her most vulnerable time
is such an honor. Then, you have the opportunity to take care of that
same person through future pregnancies or even other stages of life, which
creates a physician-patient bond that is truly special,” shares Deighan.
As a general surgeon, Peterman treats patients with a wide variety of surgical
issues including the abdomen, breast, skin and soft tissues. She understands
that each patient is an individual, different than anyone else she’s
ever helped, and needs to be treated as such. “I like to assess
each patient and prepare a treatment plan based on that person.”
Being able to treat her patient’s symptoms and help them go back
to living their lives is important to her. Peterman shares “I want
my patients to know that I will provide them with the best care I possibly
can and that I will treat them as I would want my own family to be treated.”
