MaleAbout Gary Franklin Szeto
Gary Szeto is a nurse practitioner at Prisma Health with clinical experience in cardiac care. He transitioned into the nurse practitioner role after working as a nurse in cardiology, motivated by a desire to expand his ability to directly manage and care for patients in collaboration with physicians and advanced practice colleagues.
His clinical approach emphasizes treating each patient as a person rather than a diagnosis, focusing on respectful communication and clear explanations that patients can understand. He prioritizes building trust and strong therapeutic relationships, particularly in high-acuity and critical care settings where patients and families are navigating serious health conditions.
Outside of work, he enjoys outdoor activities in the Greenville area, including cycling along the Swamp Rabbit Trail and hiking in the surrounding mountains.
