Begin at the Beginning

Foundational questions about who we are, where we are, and how we walk beside you.

Birdsong is a sanctuary for total wellbeing blending advanced diagnostics with holistic therapies, modern science with timeless healing. We offer personalized, preventative care that honors your body, mind, and spirit.

We are in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. You’ll find our peaceful healing space at 973 Houston Northcutt Boulevard.

Birdsong is co-founded by Dr. Nihar Patel, a Board-Certified expert in Internal and Hospital Medicine, and Stephanie Pascarella, a National Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach and globally recognized environmentalist. United in their shared commitment to healing, they work alongside a multi-disciplinary team to offer an integrated model of clinical precision and conscious presence bridging advanced medical expertise with sustainable, whole-person care.

We operate as a low-volume, high-touch medical centre, meaning fewer patients and more time, attention, and intention. Our model blends traditional internal medicine, advanced screening, holistic healing, and spiritual depth.

We currently serve adults aged 18+, though specialized family consultations may be available by request.

The Birdsong Way

How we hold space for both evidence and intuition — and why we choose presence over pressure.

Developed by Dr. Nihar Patel and Stephanie Pascarella, Synergistic Medicine is the art of honoring how all aspects of your being — physical, emotional, energetic, and spiritual — are interconnected. At Birdsong, this means we don’t just treat symptoms or isolated systems. We weave together diagnostics, functional medicine, somatic wisdom, and soulful care into one cohesive, personalized plan. It’s about creating a healing experience where everything works together — science and spirit, therapy and touch, data and intuition. That’s the synergy. That’s the future of medicine.

We do not bill insurance directly. However, we can provide documentation for you to submit to your insurance provider for potential out-of-network reimbursement.

Birdsong is designed for intentional, comprehensive care — not 7-minute visits. By removing insurance constraints, we are free to offer time-rich, deeply personalized healing.

Our approach weaves together evidence-based internal medicine, functional labs, and holistic modalities — but it is uniquely ours. We prefer to call it conscious, whole-person care.

While we deeply honor the spiritual dimension of healing, we are not affiliated with any specific religion. We simply believe in caring for the full human experience — body, mind, and spirit.
