About Edward Joseph Rapp, II

Dr. Rapp graduated from Duke University in 1981 with a degree in BioMedical Engineering.

Upon completing his medical training, Dr. Rapp served the US Air Force for five years and then moved to Greenwood, SC, where he has practiced since 1995. Dr. Rapp opened the office of Premier Surgical Services, PA in Greenwood in September of 2003 which provided the community with a surgical practice offering weight loss surgery options in addition to a full range of general surgery options. This is the first practice with a dedication to bariatric surgery in the six county area of Greenwood, Laurens, Edgefield, Abbeville, McCormick, and Saluda counties. In 2010, Dr. Rapp opened an office of Premier Surgical Services, PA in Aiken, offering bariatric surgery in that area as well. Throughout his practice experience, Dr. Rapp continues to expand his surgical knowledge through training and new technology. He completed a Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgery Preceptorship Program in 2004, and a Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding Surgeon's Training & Proctoring Program in 2006. Dr. Rapp was the first surgeon in South Carolina to perform many advanced robotic techniques during his procedures, including the use of Aesop robotics, and the completion of gallbladder removal and gastric procedures with full robotics. He was also the first in the Greenwood area to perform laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and adjustable gastric banding surgeries. Dr. Rapp is Board Certified as a Diplomat of the American Board of Surgery (ABS). He is also a Fellow of the American College of Surgery (ACS), a Fellow of the American Society of Metabolic & Bariatric Surgeons (ASMBS), and a Member of the Society of American Gastrointestinal Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES).

    I highly recommend Dr. Rapp. He is extremely professional, caring, and attentive during every visit. He takes the time to thoroughly explain diagnoses, treatment options, and next steps in a way that is clear and easy to understand. I never feel rushed, and he always listens carefully to my concerns and answers all of my questions with patience and compassion. Dr. Rapp truly prioritizes his patients' well-being and makes you feel comfortable and confident in your care. I am very grateful to have him as my physician and would confidently recommend him to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and compassionate doctor.

    Dr Rapp is a wonderful surgeon with great bedside manner. He truly cares about his patients well being , before and after surgery. He has a great team of nurses and staff that are both professional and knowledgeable. I'm so thankful that he performed my extremely difficult surgery. I had given up all hope of getting well until I had my first visit. If you , a friend or family member are considering surgery, please give Dr Rapp a visit before making your final decision.

    I forgot to ask Dr. Rapp to show me the pictures of the esophagram. He said he didn't have access to it in the exam, but would be able to address it in his office and we could do it following visit. But I forgot to remind him. I really would have wanted to see that as my husband was with me and could've taken part in that.
