Qi Zhang, M.D.

Dr. Zhang comes to MUSC Health, and Florence, from the Upstate New York area where she has practiced a combination of Interventional Pain Medicine and Anesthesiology. She attended undergraduate training at Cornell University, and medical school at University of Michigan and Upstate Medical University. She then completed both her anesthesiology residency as well as interventional pain fellowship at the University of Rochester before returning to Ithaca, NY to join a private practice. She has over a decade of experience treating both common acute and chronic pain conditions such as low back pain, neck pain, sciatica and various joint pains and is also well versed in other more complex diagnoses such as failed laminectomy syndrome, chronic regional pain syndrome, migraines, and peripheral neuropathies. Her past patients have ranged from retirees wishing to live a more active lifestyle to college athletes with sports injuries. She treats patients with a comprehensive approach encouraging conservative modalities such as physical therapy with a focus on evidence-based interventions when such methods fail with the goal to restore function and quality of life. With clinical expertise spanning spinal, musculoskeletal, and neuropathic pain disorders, Dr. Zhang specializes in fluoroscopy-guided injections, ultrasound-guided joint interventions, radiofrequency ablation, spinal cord and peripheral nerve stimulation, minimally invasive lumbar decompression, and regenerative medicine techniques. Working together with Florence's physical therapists, surgeons, and primary care providers, Dr. Zhang ensures each patient receives an individualized treatment plan. Outside of the clinic, Dr. Zhang enjoys horseback riding, improving her newly acquired golf and tennis skills and travel. She is excited to explore her new home state of South Carolina!
