Emergency Medicine Residency Greenville - Residents

My name is Avery Bingham. I was born and raised in the great state of Louisiana (geaux tigers) where I attended medical school at LSU Health Shreveport. When not at work, I enjoy hanging with my husband, pickleball, game nights, and exploring the many breweries in and around Greenville.

I was born and raised in Virginia with two older siblings. I played soccer and basketball growing up and enjoyed anything outside when not playing sports! I went to Lehigh university to play soccer my freshman year before transferring to UVA. Following in my sister's footsteps, I went to VCOM in Blacksburg, Virginia for medical school. When I wasn't studying, I was playing intramural soccer, hiking, and attending Virginia Tech football tailgates! I did an away rotation in Greenville during my fourth year of medical school and absolutely loved it! I enjoy spending time with my parents at their mountain house, running on the swamp rabbit trail, hanging with my co-residents at baseball games, and exploring all the restaurants Greenville has to offer!

I was born and raised in Augusta GA, moved to Macon GA to play college soccer at Mercer University, then stayed at Mercer for Medical School. Go Bears! I am an active outdoors enthusiast. In my free time you can find me with my amazing fiancé on the water ski course, mountain biking, wake surfing, wakeboarding, road cycling, backpacking, or rock climbing. These hobbies are one of the many reasons I am interested in pursuing a wilderness medicine fellowship. I chose to come to Prisma Upstate for abundant inspirational energy I felt during my month as an acting intern.

My name is Fahad Uddin, and I was born and raised in Winter Springs, Florida, a suburb within Orlando! I went to the University of Central Florida (UCF) for undergrad, who were obviously the national champs of the 2017 college football season! I took about two years off before starting medical school at Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine in Auburn, Alabama (War Eagle!). From a young age, I knew I wanted to have a career in helping others and I loved learning about the human body. Medicine combined both of these passions of mine and I am grateful to have the opportunity of becoming a physician. I am so lucky to be pursuing my residency here at Prisma Health-Upstate. Between the amazing facility and top-notch physicians we learn from, I have no doubt I will become a competent physician who will be able to provide excellent care to my future patients. Living in Greenville is an added bonus of training here and I can't wait to explore this city even more. On my off days, you can catch me hosting game nights with friends/family, spending the weekend watching college football, or playing a mean game of Pickleball! 

I did my undergraduate work at Auburn University at Montgomery where I earned a bachelor’s degree in nursing. I worked in the inpatient and emergency department settings. I also worked as a flight nurse on a rotary team during the latter half of my time as a nurse, while I earned a degree as a nurse practitioner. I then began working my way toward medical school and attended the Alabama College of Osteopathic Medicine to pursue a career in emergency medicine. My wife and I have been married for 7 years and we are excited about being in Greenville. I am so thankful to have matched to such an incredible program and to be a part of this awesome intern class.  

I went to Georgia Southern University in Statesboro, GA and med school at Medical College of Georgia - UGA Medical Partnership campus in Athens, GA. I married my high school sweetheart, Morgan, during our senior year of college. We have a son, Luke, who is almost 2 years old, and a daughter, Sophie, coming to a hospital near you in September. We also have two fur babies, Belle our golden retriever and Lexi our cat. 

I grew up in Travelers Rest, South Carolina then went to Clemson University for undergrad where I met my wife, Mackenzie. We got married last year and have been enjoying living here in Greenville with our dog, Murphie.  

Born and raised up and down the East coast until finally settling down in Charleston, SC before high school. Attended Furman University for undergrad then moved to Austin, TX with no plan whatsoever after graduating, making his parents proud. Worked for a few months as a valet until ultimately returning home to Charleston to work as a patient care tech and focus on attending medical school. Came back to the Upstate two years later for medical school (USCSOMG) and very excited to be staying for residency. 

I went to college at Clemson University where I received a BS in Biology in 2017. I attended medical school at USCSOMG. In my 6 months off between college and medical school I traveled with my older sister backpacking through Europe. I met my husband, Leif, at Clemson University where he studied material science engineering and currently works in New Product Development as an engineer. Recently got married in the Greenville area! We have two dogs named Crash and Lucy and a cat named Jax. 

I went to Wofford College and decided I wanted to stay in the upstate for medical school to be close to my family, who all live in Spartanburg, SC. I attended UofSC SOM Greenville. I can’t imagine living anywhere other than the Upstate of South Carolina and am thrilled to have the opportunity to stay here in Greenville while I continue my training.  

I did my undergraduate at Utah State University a short trip north of where I grew up. I met my wife, Shae, while we were in school there and we have since had two kids - Charlie and Brixen. I stayed close to home for medical school at the University of Utah.  

I went to Merrimack College in North Andover, MA for undergrad. For medical school, I went to Rocky Vista University COM in Parker, CO. During medical school, I was part of the US Army’s “Health Professions Scholarship Program” (HPSP). Upon completion of medical school, I completed an intern year at Eisenhower Army Medical Center in Augusta, GA. After intern year, I spent the next five years as a General Medical Officer for the Army, specifically in the role of flight surgeon. My final station location for the Army was at Redstone Arsenal where I was lucky enough to meet my amazing wife, Meagan. 

I grew up in Chapel Hill, went to UNC for college, and am a lifelong UNC basketball fan (Go Heels!). In the five years between finishing my undergraduate degree and starting medical school at UNC, I worked in neurobiology labs in NYC and NC, bicycled across the United States, went to graduate school in VA where I researched neurogenesis after traumatic brain injury, and worked in a homeless youth clinic in Seattle 

I am Brandford. I grew up in the Eastern Region of Ghana and moved to Smyrna, GA in 2009 where I completed my high school education [at the same High School as Julia Roberts], obtained my undergraduate degree in Chemistry from Georgia State University [same College as Julia Roberts] in Atlanta (Go Panthers), and then my medical degree from the Medical College of Georgia.

I enjoy playing soccer and watching soccer games, especially Chelsea FC and Atlanta United FC. I also enjoy spontaneous trips to new cities and appreciate any opportunity to visit a good museum, especially to learn about historical events. My absolute favorite museum is The Legacy Museum in Montgomery Alabama. Worth the visit. 

My name is Will Ellis and I grew up in Asheville, North Carolina. For my undergraduate studies I went to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where I studied Sociology. After college I worked in real estate and spent sometime living overseas in Malaysia before deciding to pursue a career in medicine. I returned to UNC for medical school and found that I loved the field of emergency medicine. My wife and I have been married for eight years and have two young boys that were born during medical school and will be having our first girl in the first few months of residency. I enjoy fly fishing, backpacking, golf, soccer, and spending time with my family.‍ 

My name is Jordan Griep. I was born and raised in Grand Rapids,Michigan, and had resided there most of my life prior to my trek down here to Greenville, SC. I completed my bachelor’s degree at Grand Valley State University, before taking a year and a half off to complete a research internship and work as a Surgical Support Tech. I then began medical school at Michigan State University’s College of Human Medicine where I met my wife Claire, who is an orthopedic surgery resident here at Prisma as well. We decided we needed to get out of West Michigan, because if we hadn’t, we may have never left. Greenville was the perfect place for our next big adventure; the food, the people, and the location were exactly what we were looking for. On days off you’ll find me enjoying everything outdoors, playing or watching hockey and soccer, and spending time with our fur family including our miniAussie, Lola, and two cats, Artemis and Margot. 

Sarah recently completed her Family Medicine Residency at Prisma Health Upstate Greenville, and achieved her board certification in Family Medicine. She decided early on in this training, however that she would like to pursue training in Emergency Medicine in order to fulfill her goal of working in academic medicine. As such, she has taken on the endeavor of three additional years of residency, to become the best possible physician for her patients. Ultimately, Sarah would like to serve her patients by helping them in the worst possible moments of their lives, but also guiding those without a healthcare home to the right place. She envisions practicing in an academic setting with a few days each week allotted to each specialty. She is excited to begin this new journey as an Emergency Medicine resident, and is thrilled to learn from some of the best teachers in the field (even if it is a little crazy!!). Outside of medicine, Sarah, and her wife Anna, can be found snuggling or playing with their 3 dogs Mac, Cheddar and Bacon. If the weather is kind, they may bike up to Traveler's Rest for lunch, or kayak on Lake Robinson with a picnic in tow and Cheddar on the bow. There is always an adventure to be had in Greenville.

Despite being born in Charlotte, NC I have lived in Fort Mill, SC all my life so I consider myself a native of the state. After living in the same spot my whole life, I ended up declining a soccer scholarship at a local school to attend Clemson University where I was fortunate enough to watch the Tigers win a national championship my senior year. While in undergrad, I obtained my EMT certification and worked Fire/EMS for both the University Fire Department as well as local agencies in Greenville and Anderson. Not long after I began medical school at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine Greenville, I was honored to receive a commission as a Naval Officer and look forward to providing world class emergency care to sailors and Marines.Greenville also allowed me to meet my now wife, Hayn, and we are excited to be staying close to home and family for residency. 

I was born in Denver, CO but grew up in Charlotte, NC. Becoming an EM doctor was always a dream of mine, ever since I was a young kid. I went to undergrad at the University of North Carolina in beautiful Chapel Hill and was lucky enough to stick around there for medical school, with a few years in between spent working in medical simulation. I'm a die hard UNC basketball fan and am quickly learning that "Carolina fans" around here aren't referring to the Tar Heels. I am so thrilled to be starting residency here at Prisma and have already fallen in love with the people and the program! 

I was born in Brazil and moved to the United States when I was13-years-old. We moved to High Point, North Carolina, where I graduated high school. I graduated 4 years later with a chemistry degree from Appalachian State University and where my hobby for fermentation sciences began. My goal was to become an Emergency Physician after being a medical scribe at Wake Forest Baptist. My medical career began at Campbell University where I was involved with many leadership initiatives and mentoring programs. I am also engaged to my amazing Fiancé, Elizabeth, and we will be getting married soon in Cleveland, Ohio. 

I was raised in the sunshine state near Tampa, FL until I moved to South Carolina for college and medical school. I attended Clemson University (Go Tigers!) and obtained my undergraduate degree in Biological Sciences. My husband Samuel and I are thrilled to get to spend the next three years in Greenville. We have loved living in the Upstate and enjoy the outdoors, restaurants, breweries, and hiking with our dog Darwin. 

After The Citadel I served in the Air Force for seven years, which included deployments to Afghanistan and Africa. I became fascinated by military medicine, decided I wanted to do more to help out where it's needed most, and naturally leaned towards emergency medicine. I left active duty, joined the Army National Guard, then headed back to Charleston for medical school. I completed my clinical years in Anderson, SC and the Upstate quickly became home for me, my wife, and our two sons. We're excited to be part of the Prisma EM family and the greater Greenville community. 

I’m originally from the small town of Belton, SC, and I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Biological Sciences from Clemson University in 2017. I went on to attend the University of South Carolina School of Medicine Greenville, and just recently graduated in 2021. My husband Keagan and I have been married for 3 years and have a baby boy named Warren and two very needy pups named Ollie and Marvin. I first fell in love with emergency medicine during my clinical education years, and I am so excited to continue my training as an emergency physician here in Greenville! 

Born and raised in North Carolina. Graduated from ECSU with a BS and MS in Biology and recently finished my 6 year term in the US Army Reserve.
