Douglas Named Baptist Easley Physician of the Quarter

Baptist Easley Hospital recently named Frederick G. Douglas, M.D., as the Cam Underhill Practicing Excellence Physician of the Quarter. The award is based on the Baptist Easley Medical Staff Standards of Behavior: Integrity, Compassion, and Competence.

Dr. Douglas practices at Easley Family Practice & Internal Medicine.

One of Dr. Douglas’ nominations states:

“I cannot think of a more deserving physician to receive this award. He not only meets all Standards, he exceeds them. He always shows compassion to patients and coworkers. He is always caring, taking time to teach, listen, and help any and every patient or staff member. He is sure to greet his patients, and smiles. He talks in a non-judgmental tone and lists attentively. He attends meetings and keeps up with current information on how to properly treat his patients. He never speaks an unkind word to anyone. I cannot think of a more honest and reliable person to have as a provider with Baptist Easley Hospital.”

Common statements from patients are, “He is worth the wait.” “He always listens to me and really cares about me.” “He never makes me feel uncomfortable and never talks down to me.” “He has great integrity and compassion, and he is a caring person; he is a good doctor.” “He has a special way of taking care of you.”

Dr. Douglas is certified by the American Board of Family Medicine and received his medical training at the Medical University of South Carolina.

His adherence to Baptist Easley Medical Staff Standards of Behavior and dedication to his patients distinguish Dr. Douglas as Baptist Easley Hospital’s Physician of the Quarter.
